I’m changing to a Stromberg 150CD-SEV on an early 1256 HC but find that the choke connection means that the choke cable goes almost straight up, actually leaning toward the passenger side. The cable would need to be bent in far to tight a curve to get back towards the drivers side. I’m dithering about making a bell crank arrangement to allow the cable to pull the right way. Am I missing something?
Also with the vacuum plumbing (and the photo) I realise that “A” is a vacuum operated device to divert air intake from the forward facing inlet to take air from below , and guess it needs to be piped to inlet manifold connection C, but what's it for? Thermostat operation I could understand.
“B” seems even more odd – looks like a thermostat, but has no connections and doesn't do anything interesting between being in the fridge and being heated up.
I suppose that “D” goes the distributor vacuum advance because it’s installed just before a 'ramp' in the manifold, which might subtly change the vacuum reading, or should C and D be the other way round?
Any ideas?
