    that kit converts hot air choke to electric choke. a 71 buick qjet has a divorced choke, not hot air.

    here is the only electric shoke setup I have found for divorced choke applications. It says chevy but maybe it could be modified?

    I have not used them myself.

    NAPA has a good one, about $60.

    It has a "smart" module that mounts to the intake to regualte the opening.

    Works great.

    Do you know if it will fit any manifold? I have a TA intake.

    Paul, do you have any more info, like a part number, my local NAPA is looking into it. Sounds like a good option for me living in Michigan I need a choke. I have a 72 carb on a 71 intake and 72 heads so I can no longer use the original choke housing.

    Will this kit work on a Performer intake?
