This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things.

    I forgot to let you know I got my conversion kit thanks Ken! Maybe I should toss a Q jet on my turbo car and run it without boost... Just need some studded tires as its winter here.

    Went out and started the car @ 35* yesterday morning. after sitting 2 weeks it started and idled only taking 1/2 the cranking time and no contentious pumping of the peddle. What a difference.

    Maybe I will do some testing on starting my 75 Regal with your choke when it hits -30 F LOL...

    Ken, I want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for the choke kit we purchased for our 1973 century. After a few adjustments on the high idle cam, the choke works great!!!!!!! engine starts fast, idles smoother, runs better etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you. the instructions are clear and precise for installation and settings. If I could make a small suggestion. the mounting screws used to mount the plate to the choke plate could use (IMO) about 1 mm more of length and still not interfere with operation of choke cam arm. Otherwise the kit should be a success regardless. Just wanted to pass along a BIG THANK YOU.

    regards,

    Mark Shrout

    Off to plating, then I'll pack up some more kits.
