Divorce Choke
My choke is not working on my 69 so I took Lars paper and started to reset the rod length and discovered it was not attached tp the coil echanism.
How is the entire mechanism attached to the manifold as I need to replace it. Can you buy a divorce choke at napa?

The bimetal spring is attached to the manifold with a machine screw, then the whole thing is covered with a sheetmetal cover, if you have the stock manifold. You can see drawings in the venders catalogs.

Those choke stoves are similar to those used by Camaros and Chevelles. Auto Parts warehouses should stock them. The problems presented are that they will not normally be listed in computers by application due to the age of the cars. Discriptive calalogues with pictures are available at ALL those warehouses. Take the old one with you.

If you don't have any luck in searching it out at the local stores , maybe this can help:
Edelbrock has a choke kit available thru Summit , for use on Performer manifolds, when mounted to their adapter plate supplied with the manifold. Looks like it might be a suitable replacement for the GM unit -

This link will give you a look at the mount adapter they use - scroll down midway and click on #8901

Here's a possible source for the gm replacement from Volunteer vettes , don't know why the year / engine listing doesn't cover your '69 , but here's the link anyway.
