Our 1964 Cadillac Eldorado was having some issues starting up and figured the automatic choke wasn’t working at all, so we decided to upgrade it with an electric choke.
In this informative video, Josh breaks down how the choke functions with the carburetor and what our issue was with the 64′ Eldorado, detailing what we needed to do to fix the situation. After installing the electric choke he’ll explain the best way to get power and then go over how to wire it all up, so the car starts up again like it should.
If you have any questions, please let us know in the comments section below.

Recently purchased and received your electric choke for my 64 CDV. Silly questions. Did you use 12G wire? stranded? Would solid copper cause problems or is there a benefit to using stranded as seen in other car wiring?
Great video guys
How are the wires connected at the other end?
What vacuum lines connect where on the carb
This is a really good video. Explains things clearly and offers good tips, too. Keep up the good work, guys.
Just the video I needed. I’m going to share this on the 6364 Cadillac Facebook page I bet it would help out a lot of guys
Does anyone know how to replace the stove tube on a 1964 ?
