Default Tri-power choke rod

I cannot find the rod that runs from the linkage to the manifold mounted choke spring assembly. Does anyone either have the dimensions so I can make one or possibly have an extra for sale?

Hi 1F,
Dr. Rebuild lists a choke rod for 68-69 3x2 engines. 3752318
It's a shame have to to buy one but if you don't get a picture I guess it's a option.
Regards,
Alan

Hi Alan,

I saw that one in the catalog so on Monday I'll call and ask if that's the rod I need or if it's the rod that runs from the choke plate down to the linkage.

BTW, I hope you're out enjoying that beautiful red show car quality 71 of yours!

That's the one I bought for mine. You still have to bend it a little to adjust it. There are instructions to do this either in the AIM or the service manual, I can't remember which.
