Priming choke rod, to front of radiator, Original style

This priming choke rod extends from the carburetor to front of the radiator. It allows you to choke the carb while hand cranking the engine.

It is made exactly to the original specifications, same material, bends and finish. Originally Ford did not make any of his choke rods out of brass, They were all made of steel, which is stronger, and with three different finishes.

This rod is copper coated steel which was used throughout the brass radiator era.

The first T carburetors did not have chokes or priming rods. Beginning about the end of 1910, the priming rods appeared.  They are heavier and shorter than the later styles. (Until January 1911 the rods threaded through the fins of the radiator)

NOTE: If you are using a later carburetor on a 1909-11 brass car, this rod will be too short, you will need to order 4431B.
