Is that a 750 Holley 3310? Why no choke? Is the blade still on the air horn?
Put an E choke kit on it and be done - and happy.

Don't know but don't see how you would put a choke on this.

Ooops, I meant Chevy. They should reimburse you for the part and repair cost if it's a valid recall (which it seems to be). I don't think they "expire" either.Ford would laugh in my face if I sent them an invoice for a Chevy part on a 35 year old car.
I forgot about that one! I get postcards about my Cobalt but I suppose it is for that one as well as the steering assist motor I mentioned earlier.I still haven't performed the GM ignition cylinder thing where the fix was an insert into the key:

I've already replaced the ignition switch (which is the proper fix) so I don't need the recall. I've offered to bring a key and the recall card by a local GM dealer, and for some reason they say that I have to bring in the whole car, which I find objectionable.
Were those actual recalls (issued by the NTSB) or TSBs from the automaker ?One of them was a stupid tightening of the wiper arm nuts to form them around the splines (did it myself) and the other was a software update to address an issue with the rear camera not being displayed when you go into reverse.
Presumably @atikovi has purchased the recalled seatbelt and installed it himself... or he has reviewed the nature of the failure and concluded his is nothing close to failing. I understand NOT wanting the full slew of recalls to be carried out.It's a seat belt buckle. I'd list that as probably a top priority in my vehicle. Seriously have you lost your marbles. Get it fixed.
If you're worried about your car, insist on being present at all times. When I take my car in, I can watch them drive it from the lot to the bay, and out and park it.
Are you for real? You have a DEFECTIVE seatbelt buckle. A critical life saving device. Fix it.
Yeah, that's an HP mainbody, definitely no provision for a choke, you'd have to swap it out for one that does if you wanted that function.

That's a 4150 racing carb. No Choke horn. Good carb but Who would put that on a street car ?
I had exhaust leak on my Toyota Yaris. Smelled terrible getting on the highway. Dealer refused a repair, later a TSB came out and they still refused. Then I called Toyota and got a letter approving the install of a new header and catalyst. This about a year after the UPROAR about the stuck toyota accelerators. Dealer STILL balked. I ended up trading it, as I saw one of the last, new std cab stick shift Ford Rangers for sale in 2011. Sadly That ended up being a mistake. Nice truck though in concept. - KenI see a lot of people act like TSBs are the same as recalls and demand that a dealer "fix" their vehicle per the TSB, including after warranty (and for free). It's like, no, this document describes a known or common issue and it's to save technicians time in diagnosing it, maybe it references newer revisions for the part(s) that need replaced, etc.
Was it under warranty when they refused ?Dealer refused a repair, later a TSB came out and they still refused.
Yes.Was it under warranty when they refused ?
Ahhhh, well, I can understand that part, that they have to confirm it occurs 'cause it doesn't always. What if you took the tech and kidnapped him/her ! When he/she said they don't smell anything, keep driving.... until they agree, "yeah, okay, I smell it now" !!They have to duplicate the condition. I said it happens to me most times accelerating getting on the highway, I don't care if your tech smells it or not.
