'66/'67 Choke "Stove Coil"
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2012 11:28 am
Hi All,
When I bought my '67 and started looking into why it runs so rich all the time, (with the help of Sparky the expert) we determined that some previous owner of this car installed a carb for a 455 engine, 1968 and later models. So my vehicle has been running with the incorrect carb and "choke stove coil" (officially named "Choke Housing with Rod and Thermostat on Manifold" per the parts manual).
We found and installed the proper carb for the 425 engine. Now I still have an incorrect "stove coil" that fits the 455 carb (I need the proper part for the 425), and as most everyone probably knows these are next to impossible to find. The AC Delco part number is 7027095. If anyone has any leads anywhere for finding one, I would greatly appreciate it. This particular part also fit the Cutlass F85 with a 300 engine, it seems.
Thanks in advance.
