I'm putting a Hurricane intake manifold on my 5.7 v8 merc's. The problem I already see is the choke on the carburator.The new intake is unable to provide the choke. . Is there a solution for this? :confused:

Re: New manifold

When you turn the key On,.... It powers a heater in the choke box on the side of the carb,+ starts Pulling it off........<br />The wire is alway Hot, when running, so the choke stays Off after a Few minutes......
