Does anyone know of a source for an electric choke conversion for a 1968 Rochester 4bbl with the divorced choke setup?

Call Jet or The Carb Shop and ask for the conversion kit. Have your carb number ready for them (7028251 or 253 if orig) Cant you find the proper divorced choke?

No, I've got that. Here's my story. I bought my car with a '67 330 in it (I have the original 350 in my garage, it had a cracked head so the PO pulled it and put in the 330) and a worn out '70 quadrajet. Well carbs are expensive so I bought a '68 quadrajet to put on it not realizing the divorced choke well on the '67 intake was not deep enough for the '68 choke and the '67 choke did not match up to the '68 carb. So I've been running a manual choke for the past few years, but I am tired of that, it looks bad and I always forget to open it. I have the '68 intake manifold that I can put on the 330, but as the 330 runs really well I don't really want to mess with it and risk starting a whole new set of problems ( my long.term plan is to rebuild the 350 and put it back in). I was thinking an electric choke would get me through until I was ready to swap the 350 in.

Thanks for the links, I will check them out. The only place I could find using Google was Carbs Unlimited. I talked to them on the phone and they don't have anything.
