I can't find one anywhere (except NOS on e-bay) that's affordable... For '71 and '72 in my case -both take the same one. I know some '69 and '70 models had them too.


Could you tell us exactly what your application is? There are a lot of different Holley four bbl chokes for 70-72 cars. Please post specifics.




The '71 is a 383 Magnum, Auto, No A/C, No N96 - Holley carb number 4668

The '72 is a 440 Magnum, 4 Speed, No A/C. N96 - Holley carb number 6254

The parts books I have both call out 3512867




An NOS one on eBay is about 70.00. Do you consider that to be "affordable"? BTW, the choke for a 70 383+4 Holley is NOT the same as for a 71. The chokes are different, although they all have the word Holley stamped into them.

If you were around Seattle area shows in the early 2000's then it would be painfully obvious that he did own a 1970 Road Runner 383 AT car. We were all so glad when he flipped it. It was advertised here on moparts.




I do remember the 70 he flipped , it was a stripped down coupe , bronze me thinks ?

there seems to be a jungle of different chokes out there,i hope they have a part.nr stanced on them,otherwise it could be tricky to find the right one,at least if its not attatched to a manifold or in a nos box

So which part number is correct for a 70 383?

my car was a very early 70 RR and had been swapped [possibly] to an AVS so i just used what it had.. it ran great and looked good... yes it should have had a holley factory according to the sheet, i bought it from the orig owner too.. and if owning a car for 10+ yrs is flipping it.... i guess i,m a flipper! i have never seen one of those big thermostats on a car so i guess some had em... always been 2 BBLs i,ve seen with em.. i know my 69 has the flat one..

From the 72' FSM, this choke spring design first appeared on most V8s beginning in 1970 and was used thru 72', 73' used electrically heated choke springs requiring another choke well design.

dan , that is 1970/UP choke thermo. it's used on ALL 1970 Big block 4bbls , no matter what carb it had, there is obviously one specific to holley or carter as far as the rod that connects to the carb goes but they are all of the domed design because the 1970 manifold is different than 68/69 . If your 70 had a flat one then it also had the wrong intake, but it don't matter because you flipped it.

john it was a very early LA car so it could have had a 69 intake on it... or maybe something happened early on and it got changed... it was a #,s car.. also the pass side exh manifold was a 73 date code so maybe some parts were swapped or whatever... the orig owner was in his 60,s when he bought it new... so i doubt he did it.. dan
