Listers,

Temps are the upper 60's today so I went to the garage to take the BJ8 out
for a run.  I pulled the choke knob and the entire choke assembly came out
of the dash.  I do mean the entire assembly, the knob as well as the cable
sheath came out of the dash.  The sheath disconnected from the choke
bracket on the fire wall.  So here I am, a beautiful day and no choke to
start the car with!  I've never had this happen before.

This situation is not one of the items on my to-do-list!  I don't need more
stuff to do.  I tried looking under the dash to see the hole through the
firewall but it appears that the hole is above and or behind the back of
the heater.  I cannot see daylight through the firewall hole.  Does anyone
have ideas or suggestions on how to put the choke assembly back through the
dash and fire wall without removing the entire dash?  Do I have to actually
remove the heater box to put the choke back in the car?

Help!
