Hey all, I am new to this site and forum... I have a '48 D24 with a Sisson auto choke, recently while trying to troubleshoot rough idle and running issues. I found that the 2 bolts that hold down the automatic choke had broken off. I have read about drilling a re-tapping the studs, but what I don't know is if the studs thread into the exhaust manifold or if they were braised or welded on originally. From what I can see the bolts broke off flush and I cannot tell see if there are any marks from where they were to begin with. Really just stuck trying to figure out how best to repair this so I can get my D24 back on the road, a y help would be great. ben

So after my previous post about drilling out my exhaust manifold to replace studs for my sisson choke, I finally got that work done and re-mounted my carb and choke. I adjusted the choke and set it as the manual said. The issue i am having that I hope any one can help with is.. the sisson choke closes to start the engine but as soon as engine starts the choke goes 100% open and car stalls and dies. I can start the car and hold the choke 75% closed and it will run like a dream but as soon as I let the auto choke take over the choke opens all the way and the engine dies. I have cleaned the carb, replaced fuel lines and done every thing i know how to. Can any one please lend me some advice on what I am doing wrong? Ben D24 fluid drive Stromburg 1bbl Sisson choke

Hi Everybody - I have a 1946 Dodge D24 with fluid drive and need to make up the linkage rod from the Sisson automatic choke to the carb. Carb is a Stromberg BXVD-3. Would appreciate it if somebody could let me know the length of theirs or the spec if you know it. Thanks, Doug
