As the title states, wheres the best place to drill the hole for a manual choke? Getting a weber with a manual choke and i cannot seem to find a pre drilled hole somewhere i can use. I dont want to drill into anything on the backside of the firewall. Any pictures of any sort will help. My car is an ea82 gl wagon 4wd and i live in the USA so steering is on the left hand side. Thanks in advance

Here's the dash location, I would guess the cable should run fairly much in a straight(ish) line towards the carb.

 

You can use the area already provided in the Dashboard, for the Manual choke Lever:

 

 

it was a feature in certain markets outside the USA.

 

Kind Regards.

Oops, I missed the "EA82" bit...

How about through the firewall? Im thinking right above the clutch cable hole. I can kinda keep it hidden. Oh and i dont know if it is supposed to have it, but my ea82 does have a manual choke mount built into the dashboard! I didnt think the USA models would have it, but mine does. I will take pictures and post soon

All the EA82's Dashboards, have provisions for everything, as it simplifies the building Process; but not all the accesories designed for them, are installed on the factory; they depends on the version model, you know, DL, GL, GL-10, RS, RX, RX/II, GT, GTi, among others... However, yes, share Photos with us.

 

You can slide the cable for the choke thru the Firewall, using certain holes already provided for that, they are covered with rubber caps usually.

 

Kind Regards.
