I'm in the throes of installing a Daytona replacement carburetor on my 1962 Lark 6cyl. It's gone pretty well so far, but the Daytona carb has a manual choke rather than the original automatic choke. I picked up a choke cable (http://www.amazon.com/Edelbrock-8013.../dp/B0052EPBX0) at the local Autozone but have not yet installed it, as I have a few questions:
1. Where's the best place to bring the cable through the firewall? I'm thinking I should route it through the existing cable hole that sits above and to the left of the steering column (the one that contains the hood release cable); looks like there's just enough room there.
2. How should I mount the choke knob inside? I'm thinking an L-bracket under the dash would work well, or I could drill a hole and mount it directly in the dash. A third option, the cigarette lighter is broken... if it's not a huge hassle to get it out, I could possible stick the choke knob right there.
3. Do I need any sort of brackets inside the engine compartment between where the cable enters the engine compartment and where it is clamped to the choke?
Thanks in advance!
