Replacing the choke looks like a simple enough process. I took mine out a few months ago (o.k. 11 months 17 days ago) to restore my '59. My memory sucks but I will try to describe as much as I can remember. I pulled on the choke. Used a set of needle nose plyers to hold the wire so I could remove the knob.. From behind the dash unscrew the finger tightening screw the aluminum cover will stay in place becausre the hole in you dash is slotted not round.
NOw run around the back of your car. Unhook your choke from your carb, and run back to the front and pull.. Do that in reverse and Voix La. Fini. OR buy a new carb with andn electric choke OR run Dual carbs and use the choke hole for a cigarette lighter or a switch for a real cool set of Vintage hella driving lights
