I haven't been able to find someone who's done a choke cable for a 1960 122S with SU-H4/B16B. I have had work done to get the engine up to snuff and then sent off the carburetors to get them back to working order. A bumps in the road later, and I'm have a car that runs great, when it is warm. The choke isn't doing much, and what it does isn't great. So I have a new choke cable (from Swedish Treasures) for a B16B, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get it into the dash. I can feel up, around and under the dash to feel a nut on the inside of the dash pull. I'm having a heck of a time seeing anything in there enough to try to put a wrench on the nut. Let alone try to turn it.

Has anyone done one of these on an early 122? Since I can't think of how else to unhook the old wire to replace it, does anyone have any better ideas?

I just have to say that my car (aka Belle from a previous owner several states away) is a riot! I am amazed at what 85 horse power can do. I've had the car since last year and have spent time and $$ getting it running well. I am starting on some leaking body seals next, then will be doing some rust work.

That's my burning question for now...how to replace the choke cable at the dash? I have adjusted the choke enough times I know how to do that.

Thanks!
Roll On!
