johnny38 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 hi all looking for a choke cable 1938 dodge D8 218 6cly stromburg carb thanks john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'm pretty sure that car should have a Sossong electric auto choke unit on it not a choke cable. Broker-len had one for sale recently. There may be a hand throttle cable that connects to the bellcrank on the manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936 D2 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 "J"... It's a "Sisson Co." electric choke. Looks pretty much like this: depending on application and mounting location on the exhaust manifold.I THINK '38's were still using a "Throttle Cable" that connects to the carb linkage and is used to control the high idle on start-up of a cold engine, but I am not positive on that.

jpage Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yes you will have to scrap the manual choke cable. The auto choke mounts on the flat top of the rear portion of the manifold. If you look you should see two small holes about 2 1/2 in. apart on the flat area near the 2 bosses for the throttle bracket. A small rod connects from the arm on the choke to the choke butterfly arm on the carb. The hand throttle cable mounts to the throttle cable bracket and fastens to an arm on the bracket, There's a steel rod that goes from the other arm to the thottle plate arm. I think I may have a photo. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny38 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 thanks lp will do, will put it together tomorrow ill let you know how it goes thanks again johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1936 D2 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Here is another shot showing the linkage connections for the auto-choke on a '36 using a Carter carb. The Stromberg connections are very similar. The cable connection at the center right of the photo is the "Throttle" cable connection point.
