Lehman57 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 I'm trying to get my Sisson choke hooked up, but apparently do not have the choke rod that goes choke to carburetor. Does anyone have an extra? I'm not sure what model I have (can't find the number), but maybe AC-758. It is on a 1943 Chrysler engine in a WW2 trailer pump. I can make a rod, but the clips would be nice to have. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 I might have an extra rod. Can you give me a length? The clips are available in any parts store. Look in the Help! section. They have an assortment in a small package. That's where I got mine. Quote
woodie49 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 If you don't locate one, you can get some thin metal stock from Home Depot of just about the right diameter and measure and bend your own. That's what I did and I was able to use the proper clips on the ends of the rod. The clips are often available on EBAY. There is a guy who sells two for 4 bucks. Quote
Lehman57 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 Sisson choke rod length measures about 10 1/8". This is with the choke open, and the Sisson arm pushed down. If I understand the operation correctly, this length is not extremely critical, because the arm is adjusted. Thanks. I haven't found the clips yet, but have several places to look. (I didn't check this site for several days.) Quote

Joe Flanagan Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 10 1/8" doesn't sound right to me. I thought it was more like 5". Quote
woodie49 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 There are actually two different sizes, but I think they are both in the 5 to 6 inch range. But, if you don't have the stock carb on, then they could be different. Here are the clips, thogh this guy is a bit expensive.: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1934-1952-Plymouth-Chrysler-Choke-Rod-CLIPS-NOS-MoPar-/140240225689?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20a6f80599 Quote
woodie49 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Here are the affordable clips - just listed. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1949-1950-1951-1952-1953-Plymouth-Dodge-DeSoto-Chrysler-/200662914115?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb8711443 Quote
Lehman57 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Posted October 15, 2011 This is used on a WW2 civil defense trailer pump, not on a car. That might make a difference. As far as I know, the carb is original--I got it from a museum east of Cleveland, OH. Quote
