No baffle plate in electric choke.

[cramezl]

Hey guys. I just put a carb kit on my edelbrock 1406. The diagram that came with it showed a baffle plate as part of the electric choke, but mine didn't have one. So,

1: what does it do?
2: why don't I have one and do i need to get one?

Electric choke uses the same type of coiled spring cover as the one in the older style engine-heat activated choke that relaxes the spring, uncoiling as it is heated. However, instead of using heat from the exhaust manifold or intake, the electric choke uncoils the spring via an electric heating element in the cover. Baffle plate and gasket serve to seal and separate the choke housing from the cover.

my holley doesn't have one either... still works flawlessly since I tuned it this winter.
