Hi Fred:

=20

I did remove the heater box to make the job replacing the choke cable =
easier last year.  However, I did not replace the heater box because I =
have no need for it in South Florida.  Although I remember taking it out =
30 years ago and did get it back in after a time when I lived in Chicago =
by standing on my head.=20

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.

=20

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!

Fred,

I refinished my dash last winter, and re-installing the choke cable was one
of the things I had to do.   From the engine bay, I fished a wire thru the
firewall hole into the passenger compartment.   Stand on the passenger's
side as you do this, so that you can aim the wire down and toward the
driver's foot pedals.   Attach the choke cable to the fish wire, then
gently pull the choke cable back into the engine compartment.

As you pull, be careful of the wiring.  You don't want to accidentally pull
a wire loose or put stress on any of the wiring.   An assistant would be
helpful, one person to push from the passenger compartment while the other
pulls from the engine compartment, but if you're careful, you can do both
roles yourself.

Good luck!

 - Tom

On the BJ8 that's a challenging job.
First turn off the battery master switch.
Next remove the "splitter" bracket from the firewall at the back of the
engine compartment. 2 Phillips head screws.
Next feed the choke cable assembly, with the inner cable pulled out until
the end of the inner is within the outer, through the wooden dash and then
slide the split washer and then the nut onto the cable.
Using a thin wall socket, also slid over the cable, tighten the choke
assembly into the wood dash
At this stage it's a really good good idea to install a 5/8" NC " palnut"
on top of the hex nut to prevent the choke assembly from coming loose in
the future.
Now, after removing the socket, feed the end of the outer cable through the
hole in the firewall between the 2 "splitter" assembly securing screws.
Now push the choke control all the way in.
Next reinstall the "splitter" assembly such that the inner cable protrudes
into the splitter.
Install the trunnion through the splitter block and then clamp the inner
cable into the trunnion.
There should be little or no inner cable protruding through the splitter
block.
Flat rate time 0.3 hours. =F0=9F=98=8A=F0=9F=98=8A

A little secret ... I have a 5/8" spark plug socket with the end turned
down so that it just slides into the recess in the wood. A ratchet ring
spanner is used to turn the socket.
I still very much doubt that I  could beat the warrenty time for changing
the pirmary choke cable.
