Product Information

Product Details
Part No. 55101
Warranty Details (1 Year Warranty)
Countless carbureted cars and trucks were manufactured with automatic choke mechanisms to control the choke plate without any input from the driver. When converting to a cable-actuated choke for direct control, this manual choke conversion kit connects your carb's choke plate to a manual choke knob mounted in or under your dash. This eliminates any unwanted springs, wires, sensors, or tubes affecting your choke. Just pull the knob to close the choke plate for starting, then push the knob back in once the engine is warmed up. Universal choke conversion kit fits a wide range of vehicles with original or aftermarket parts. The kit includes a cable support bracket, a choke knob mounting bracket, choke cover caps in two sizes, a choke plate actuating fork, and a manual choke cable with a pull knob. Installation typically involves modifying some of the components in this kit to fit your specific application. The kit includes a variety of adapters to fit most common carburetor designs. For carburetors with fast idle mechanisms, this kit should not affect fast idle functionality when installed correctly. Need a heavy-duty version of this kit, Check out Dorman's 55104 choke conversion kit.

Product Features:
  • Versatile kit - engineered to eliminate an automatic choke mechanism and includes an extra-long cable, brackets, choke cover caps, a choke actuating fork, and a variety of adapters to fit many applications
  • Simpler solution - replaces entire automatic choke mechanism with a cable for direct choke control at the dash
  • Durable construction - designed and manufactured to strict specifications for reliable performance
  • Trustworthy quality - backed by a team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience

The packaging material is more durable than the product. One of the poorest quality products of any kind that I have EVER purchased. Returned for a refund.

It works but not very well.
Verified Buyer -
All in all this is an ok kit. Only complaint is the bracket that holds the cable is too flimsy. You will need to make a new one. Not very good quality but it will work (for a little while anyway.)
Would buy again
