RE: [MarcosManiacs] Choked!

2002-06-17 by Jeff Caraway

I\u2019m coming in on this a little late, but thought I\u2019d add a little.

I\u2019m not greatly familiar with the Ford Essex V6, but do know that the choke is a function of the carburetor setup you choose.

For instance, the 70 MG midget I had, had SUs with a manual choke. I think that was typical of SUs of that time period.

However, my Marcos (with a Ford Cologne V6) has an automatic choke which was typical of the Holley (really a Weber in disguise) carburetor of that period. Although, there are other carbs I could fit that may not have that luxury.

I guess my point is this, the choke system will depend on the carburetor you plan on using. So, you may want to work that out, before you get too far on the dash.

Best Regards,

Jeff

Hi again guys! silly question no. 10,654...
Can those of you with the Ford V6 engine fitted please tell me if
their cars have manual or automatic chokes fitted? This has only come
up since I started to recover the dashboard and was wondering which
holes to open up or leave closed. My V4 had a manual choke and I've
heard that the advice is to fit the same to the V6.

I finally chose my wheels I've gone for Superlite (minilite style)
wheels I think these look rather good on the Marcos! The Tyres should
be turning up soon as well, 185 70 H r13 Fuldas (£140 for the set)

Any way must crack on goung to try and get more of the interior
trimmed today!

Cheers

Ashley
