Thanks to Michael Canfield and Mitch Haley for the suggestion of a manually operated choke cable. Actually, some years ago that was the set up, but to pass the smog inspection one year, I was required to install, or more correctly, restore the original automatic choke assembly to its original condition. Which I did and it turned out to be an inexpensive and easy task. That was my first time working on a carb. Smog check is no longer required in California for a vehicle of this vintage. (Nor is it required of the diesel - is this true in all the states?) Now the sad part. I believe the previous choke cable attached at such a place that it relied on that plastic piece to operate. I will examine that possibilty, but I am not optimistic. Now where did I put that cable after I took it off----
