Fuel System: choke stove KAPUT

[Edsel Face]

The tube on the choke stove snapped off at the base during a carb installation, Stromberg 2 barrel '55 Commander. Is that threaded into the manifold?

It is just struck in there, so you can fabricate a new one and drill the old one out. Or maybe, if you are really, really lucky, you can find a NOS replacement. Any used ones will be so rusted in place as to be un-salvagable. Needs to be a nice close fit, tho.

Or maybe just convert to a manual choke.

There are two styles of furnace assemblies. To remove the unit the manifold should be removed, and the furnace tapped out from the inside. It is only in the manifold about 1/2" and will tap out very easily. Either style will fit in the same manifold
