    I'm getting ready to move to Maine from Norfolk, Va next week. Does anyone have any suggestions for making a trip that long.
    She runs good and has low miles, the only thing wrong is that the choke sticks. (Have to adjust manually to start)

    If I were you I would fix it before you go, if you are not mechanically inclined take it off and have it repaired at a repair shop. Or go buy a new rebuild at your local parts house. Around here that is almost the best route unless you have a high dollar carb on it now, Most off the shelf rebuilds cost around 135. 00 for a standard 1 barrel that would fit a 6 popper or 165.00 for a factory 2 barrel for a v-8 The last thing you want is the choke sticking, bad gas mileage, gas puking out the top, and a number of other things. Hope this helps.
