The electric choke heats a coil that when expanded from heat opens the choke. All it needs a +12V. There isn't a sensor or anything. It's basicly a timer. Never been a fan of them, they normal have a air bleed that pulls air in to cool the coil as it's powered as long as the key is on. The bleed likes to plug up and burn the coil up. Then it floods the engine and strands you.

$3000 bucks at Subadude in South Loveland got me a used rebuild with new seals, gaskets, timing belt, radiator, pullies, hoses, and miscellaneous doodads. Anniversary present thanks to Uncle Sam, and taking one for the team, both of us amongst a cesspool of germs working for Amazon and Senior Living. Want to go junkyard diving now to find some treasures, clips, and light fixtures. Godspeed, RIP Diamond, Xenongod/Jeff

You have asked for Hitachi P/N's for 80 to 84's. I can tell you that the manual transmission 85 to 88 2 door hatches and Brats used Hitachi distributor P/N 429878900; autos used 429879100. The coil P/N's are 429887810 for manual transmissions and 429887310 for manual and autos. So I think either coil can be used for the manual's. Note, I have been running a Hitachi CIT-32 (I will check the number again) coil on my 87 Brat since 2012 with no issues. Not sure if these 85 to 88 P/N's are helpful. Separately, AZ has several options for coils, including a couple of NGK's: Ignition Coil Options at AZ Correction to the Hitachi coil P/N I have been using since 2012. I stated above it was CIT-32. It is actually CIT-126.
