changing a auto choke carb to a manual one?

[vwjack]

basicly how is it done cause the auto choke kinda works off the coolant dont it? and i dont know what to do about that?

You're presumably on a Pierburg at the moment and you're looking to swap out to a Weber, yes?

Basically disconnect all the crap hanging off the Pierburg, block the coolant hoses that went into the Pierburg, throw the Pierburg away and bolt up the nice, cute far more effective little Weber, on the correct adapter plate. 

Get in the car and below the steering wheel, to the left there is a blank that you need to remove - there's a single fixing on the back of it to unscrew and it just pulls out of the dashboard.  Now pierce the grommet in the hole in the firewall ahead of this location and poke the choke cable through the hole.  Connect this up and away you go.

Should be just what you need all the choke is really is a cable so as it long as it connects up ot should be fine, and it will look original as well
