The choke off my carb looks nothing like that. No port or piston.

If the choke housing has a pull off piston, the port is drilled to the centre section of the carb for vacuum source. ( see picture ).You can insert a small piece of wire about 2.5 inches deep if drilled for vacuum. On the 850 holley with 1.56 venturi, the choke housing with pull off piston, used an...
