Question on choke rod with handle length

Post by Will_Vanderburg » Sat May 27, 2023 11:34 am

A choke rod for a Centerdoor is how long from inside the car to the bell crank? Is it 17 11/16ths inches or is it 20 inches?

I believe the lengths are shown in the parts books.

OK. I checked. The length isn’t specified but the part number corresponds to the one that’s 17 11/16ths inches long.
