Complete Buick 1968-1974 “SKUBuick6874” kit with instructions was professionally installed on the 1972 QJ (Sean Murphy Induction, Huntington Beach, CA) for my warmed over, TA Stage 1 manifold-equipped Buick 350. I ran it for a couple years until I switched over to another carb and had the QJ restored back to near-stock (with divorce choke) for a cast iron manifold-equipped SBB. The conversion performed very well but I don’t need it anymore. All hard parts, fasteners and the instruction sheet are included and are in excellent condition. $30 plus insured shipping (USPS Priority Mail, most likely)
These are great I got one on my carb..... fits a standard AC.... Will not sit on a SWAC with a stock base without a small bit of modifacaton to the big outer aluminum ring. Need to be cut flat on top.
Good to know, that was one of the questions I asked Dan. I have a home made SWAC base that sits 1/4" lower than the stock one does, however much more modifications will need to be done? It's not an original so I don't mind cutting in to it.
I dont see a problem making it fit your base.. cutting the ring is easy. Upper part of the cup may need to be shaved of cut off.... EZ to cover to opening if needed.....
Just curious where you got the ignition 12 volts from when it was on your car? My coil uses the resistance wire which is only 8 volts after the motor starts.
In my case, I had the reproduction engine compartment wire harness modified (where it runs along the inboard side of the passenger-side valve cover) to include a "ignition-on" 12-volt wire branching out at about the approximate location of the carburetor when I ordered it from M&H Electric Fabricators, Inc. in Santa Fe Springs, CA. I'm sorry but I have no idea what circuit they tapped it off from.
Yes they do, which I believe is typical of all electric chokes. Power off means no heat is being generated, which results in the "coil" cooling down and allowing the choke flap to close.
