Adapting divorced choke?

[Kenny78]

I want to remove my edelbrock carb. elec choke. I have a Quadrajet with elec. choke but have since allocated it towards my other project. The Quad I am searching for is to go in my '73 Blazer but it has an '80's? intake; egr, vac. temp. switches and such. I found a Quad and the price is good, but it has a divorced choke. Is there any adapter(other than a '70s manifold) to make it work. I was going to use a manual choke cable but the wife nixed that idea. Further research shows that it probably would lead to problems when she drove it. I searched but to no avail
Thanks in Advance, Kenny

The divorced choke used a plate with a spring coil that would get hot and move . It doesn't actually get the exhaust crossover touching it per se , it just sits on a flatt on the intake and gets heat through the intake by only touching intake .

So you need to make a little plate type thingy that will get exhaust crossover heat transferred to it , and mount the divorced choke chingas at the right height for the rod to to go to carb . Thats a lot of trial and error , and may not even heat exchange enough .

I wouldn't bother , I would buy a few Q-Jet cores and pirate enough stuff to make the older carb electric <----------- Easier by far
