Re: [AMC-List] & Choke heat tube

[<francis.swygert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John Elle has a better memory than he thinks! I've had problems in the
past with the choke tube rusting/breaking/leaking INSIDE the exhaust
manifold. I drilled the old tube out and carefully inserted a piece of
steel brake line in. It might leak a slight amount, when cold, but
everything expands as the engine warms if the tube is a snug (but not so
tight it won't go in) fit. The same steel can be used all the way up to
the carb, but copper will work as good. If you're getting carbon inside
the choke housing the tube has a leak inside the manifold. Should be
nothing but air in there!
