Hi,I have some question about my automat choke.
When I bought the car it was disconnected, but I would like it to work properly. Please look at the attached picture...
http://www.bildeinfo.com/Termostat.htm What is the hose connected to the termostat house? The green arrow. This is not a electrical choke, because it don't have connection to 12V. And what is the device with the red arrow? Thanks in advance. Steinar

Can you give us a little more info about the car? What year, what size engine? Anything along those lines will help.

...I'm sorry....
It's a 73 Mach 1 - 351 4V engine and it's a holley carburator with the number List 1920-15. Bye the way does anybody know what kind of carb this is? I can't find this number anyplace at the Holley web site.

That looks an awful lot like a 2V carb to me. Sorry, but I have no idea about that carb other than it looks like it may be an Autolite and not a Holley.

..well..it's a Holley and it's a 2V.
But what about the other device with the red arrow ! Is it not common in these cars...?
I appreciate all suggestions...( I hope you will excuse my bad english..-  ) [This message has been edited by seikemo (edited 05-02-2006).]

Possibly some sort of anti-smog device? Definately NOT like anything I've ever seen on any Mustang engines.

It looks like it has a part number on it. You can try a search for that number on google.

Here's what I found on a DeTomaso site with google. This sounds like a ported vacuum switch. Pretty common on Ford engines
of the time. The bottom end of it is immersed in the upper water passage
in the manifold. What it's supposed to do is route distributor vacuum from the
carb most of the time, but if the temperature of the engine (switch, actually)
rises too high, it routes the vacuum from the manifold to the distributor,
giving a bit more spark advance, thus speeding up the engine and water
pump, thus cooling it down again. This is supposed to happen only in
really hot weather idling for a long time, but I don't know how well it
works in practice.
