Alexander Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Just received what was advertised as the correct choke gasket for 1949-52 Mpars. It is a metal composite type material just as described earlier on this board. However here is the question: What I find surprising, is that the gasket does not have a center cut out to accommodate heat transfer up in to the choke. As a result, perhaps delaying the opening of the choke when warm? With all the after market parts these days, could this be a universal gasket that is being doubled for this application? Just want to make sure I have the right gasket for the application and not impede performance. Your thoughts welcomed. Thanks Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desoto1939 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 This should be a sisson choke and is electro magnetic. The should be a wire that is triggers from the stater to send the current to the coke to push the butterfly closed. remember that the choke will be set even when the weather is warm. There is a small setting rod to set the proper amount to close the butterfly. The gasket is all one piece with no holes and has metal in the material. This is the same as the one that is used onthe 39 desoto. The arm for the later Plymouth might be on the right and the earlier cars used the choke that had the arm on the left. rich H desoto1939@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
