Since it is just a cable running to the choke I am no longer able to adjust the GAV on the carburetor. My car always ran the best when the adjustment was turned out about a half of a turn. When I hooked up the cable I marked it so it would be fixed in that position when I hooked up the cable. It seems to be running great.

I see.
Is the thermostat in the upper hose up by the radiator neck? On the radiator side of where you are taking the hot water out for the heater?
My S/W Town Sedan was driven by the previous owner and his family in the Chicago area for many years. He installed a hot water heater inside the car on the passenger side. He had a thermostat in the upper hose. He also installed a small 12 volt electric pump to push the hot water through the heater core. I guess the car's water pump was not enough for him.
I took it out in Texas because we did not need the heat.
