I have a customer with this 65 Plymouth Sport Fury, a 383 cid engine and a 2 barrell Stromberg carb. I need a choke thermostat. The one that sits in a depression in the intake manifold. Where can I get one? Does anybody on this forum have one or have access to one?

Great idea but customer wants it original if at all possible.

BTW, what model carb would you advise to make this happen if customer did decide to go this route?

Thanks Steve, will have someone check them out.

I guess I am not enough of an ebay fan to go there unless I am desperate.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. E Bay is the place to go for stuff like this. Best thing is if there isn't anything or a lot there are always a list of places to look at the bottom of the page
