    I need a picture of the chock control with the contact for the light in the dashboard. I bought the knob (that was missing in my car) but without the contact. I need to see how it works. Alvaro

    I just replaced mine. It's pretty simple: one wire to a male spade riveted to the lever body, other wire to switch which is threaded into the body.

    Picture attached shows a replacement lever. I tapped the hole shown near the top for the switch and had to drill a hole and rivet for the other connection. I used a new replacement lever and matched the connections on my original. Replacing the US "CHOKE" plate for the correct Euro version (of course.)

    Thank you very much Chris. Do you have a picture of the finish one or the old one to see
    exactly the attachment of the switch?. Regards, Alvaro

    I should add that the plunger / rubber end of the switch is activated by the pivoting lever body. The arrow I drew makes it look like it connects to the fixed part of the lever.

    When you get the switch in, there's only one place it can go though.

    Yes Christ, it's the way I understood the way it works. I also found a picture that confirm
    your words. Thank you very much. Alvaro
