I would clean up and use . Nothing goes wrong except crud in it and rust to
myknowledge . You will never get NOS ones. . I tried .. Mine were missing
totally.
What goes wrong is pots rust out . Why we made them of stainless . Check
floor of manifold .. It can melt into exhaust = vaccuum leak too . I filled one
once with About 1/4" of epoxy 25 years ago .. From exhaust side . Seemed
ok . There some talk , with George I think about putting washers in there
( elbow ends) to lower heat , it is on high side . We are not expecting fast
warm up on 10 degree days any more from a 300f . In fact blocking them
might make sense in California say . Yes , Max wedge choke cables . Like
300 J and K had . I had J anf had many F . Hardly ever touched J choke ,
but fought idle lope rich carbs , uneven pull off , stall etc on F 's . J set up
is better , day to day . But caveat .. I never personally did that as dual choke
pull was even more ra re than carb thermo coils .
Good luck ..

So far so Good, several
options to consider. the dual cable may be the easiest if mechanical is in the
cards. When you say 426 SS, you are refering to the 426 Max-wedge 2X4 short
short Ram's, correct? I'd prefer the automatic operation, stock or viable
substitute. I also have the old unit(s), very dirty (maybe corroded) but may
be sevicable. Anyway, does a "real" one still exist? Somewhere? If not a real
one, which of the wrong ones fits the closest to original? I do not want to
modify the manifold, I have the new "Pots" and gaskets but still need the
gismo's/spring thing that opens the choke plate. All your help so far is
GREATLY appreciated.

Hi Steve ... We have those still .. SS wells for ram choke with clamp
plate , but did not do gaskets -- you can get those within club . I made
them with JY Chouinard selling them . He has become very busy with his work
.
Same with heater switch cams or rebuilds . Contact Keith Simons here for
them . This info was in Newsflight for past 3-4 years ? Maybe we need to
update info. Also made kits for restoring or fix 57-58 door handles and
springs , a spring for car radio to stop slipping tuning ( a bear to put in) ,
working now on safety catch for 57-59 hoods . Not well organized ---it is a
hobby not a business .
The choke coil is not reproduced.. But old ones can be cleaned up . They
look bad but work ok if clean . Do not try to turn on mount to adjust it . I
think i once adapted one from a 318 dodge 70's era truck by changing arm from
choke coil . Slant six ones too , 60's , they do not" Fit" but can be cobbled
up . Frankly F/G ram chokes never work right .. One comes off before the other
. Why it went away in 62 . Warm up cycle in cold weather d icey . But back in
j,k but with manual pulloff . I understand the 426 SS cars dual choke cable
being repro'd fits . Worth thinking about ..

Bob,
A year or two ago, I purchased the gaskets for the choke pots
from you, and the choke wells for the Ram from a "French" named fellow in
Canada (or so I recall?). Anyway, my question to all, are the "Chokes" that
are required for the Ram manifolds still available? If so where? and what
part number? Is there a unit that will work? Maybe from a different year?
Can anyone help? Or at least suggest a solution, or substitute unit. Thanks
to all in advance.
