Dash illumination
Hello all. I hate to plague you with such an amature question, but I want asurance. Today when driving, my dashboard illumination went out. When I made it to my final destination, the headlights would turn on and off, but would not go back down. This leads me to belive that the middle fusable link is burnt out. Am I correct?
I also have a more pressing issue. My choke *** fell off. How do I put it back on?
Thanks in advanced Ted.

The choke **** is held in place by a small screw on the bottom of it. It screws up into the metal choke rod. The screw probably just fell out or backed out enough that the **** came off when it was pulled. You might have to pull the rod out a little bit with a pair of vice grips (clamp onto the rod near the dash panel) in order to line the screw up with the hole. At least thats how it is on my 82 and 83.

Thanks guys. This happend to me in the dark so I did not see what was going on. ( I had a reason to speed) Today in the morning I discovered teh screw for the choke, and in auto class I took a look at the fuse and sure enough it was the fuse. Thanks for your help guys.
