The rocker rollers were not centered on the valve tip. And even worse at full lift. Only 0,025" near the circumference of the tip.

I modified an electric choke from a 1974+ to fit my original 1971 intake.

Have you run the engine yet?

If you only drive it in the summer you don't need a choke anyway, unless you want your car as it was when it came out of the factory.

I took out the electric choke, was not needed. I'm going back to the original choke. I also want my cars to function exactly as Mother Mopar designed them. So a choke is going in.
