    Most Chevrolets have a 'divorced choke. That means the choke is away from the choke and located in the intake manifold . The older Chevrolets had internal chokes . You would notice those carburators .

    To adjust the Divorced types, bend the rod to allow the flap to close. Heat , from the intake is what makes the bi-metal spring to expand causing the spring to pull the flap open. scrubba
