| The choke stove is is for heating the old style automatic choke caps. Heat from the choke stove (exaust manifold) is drawn through choke assembly through a small vacuum port in the carb. This heats the choke element in the choke cap up causing the choke to open as the engine heats up. I'm not sure but I think the 289's have two tubes that go to the passenger side exaust manifold. One tube hooks up to the threaded vacuum port on the carb, the other is a push on hose connection that connects to the top of the carb, this one is for pulling cold filtered air into the exaust manifold, heating it up and sending it over to the automatic choke. I have seen others with the choke stove located in the intake manifold exaust crossover port also. These parts are often rusted out and not connected. If you have them hooked up and working properly, these chokes work great. |
