Remove the two tubes that go to the manifold heat stove. They should pull out of the manifold plate. You don't need to do anything to the plate. It will not leak exhaust unless it is rusted out inside. Cap the port at the top rear of the carb and the port at the choke housing.

You can get a cap for the choke housing at the local hardware store. It would be in the brass fittings section.

Where did you get your electric choke?
Sounds like something i might want to do.
The choke stove and pipes cost close to 60 bucks and they are getting pretty rusty...

I installed one of these on my Q-jet and it works great!
