neat idea for manual choke

well owners of 73-87 trucks i came up with an idea a few years ago on one of my old trucks and decided to share it with you, i put a manual choke carb on it when i dropped in the 355, well i don't like things hanging out etc, so i decided to hide my choke lever, went to the napa store and got the cable looked at the lever and said man that looks like an old chevy truck cig lighter, so i thought to myself self this would be a good location for my choke so i took off the ashtray removed the cig lighter stuff and put my choke lever in the ashtray where the lighter would be works really good and its out of the way just fold it up and its hidden lot of ppl can't even tell its the choke unless you really look at it just thought i'd share that idea with you folks

Re: neat idea for manual choke

Creative thinking! I had two nitrous switches in there on mine, but now I don't need them. Might consider that.
