Carburetor Choke Thermostat for Ford and Mercury

Hygrade CV237 is a carburetor choke thermostat for classic Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications that use VV or Ford carburetors. It is built for direct-fit service on a wide range of 1981-1991 vehicles, including Ford LTD Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Ford Mustang applications.

  • Carburetor choke thermostat for air and fuel delivery service

Application Coverage

Compatible With 1981-1991 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury carbureted vehicles listed in the fitment data, including Ford LTD Crown Victoria, Ford LTD, Ford Mustang, Ford Thunderbird, Mercury Grand Marquis, Mercury Cougar, and Lincoln Continental. This part cross-references Standard Ignition TH296 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

  • Hard cold starts caused by choke thermostat wear
  • Improper choke operation during warm-up
  • Rough idle after startup on carbureted engines
  • Choke response issues in VV and Ford carburetor setups
  • Driveability problems tied to incorrect choke temperature control

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify carburetor type, terminal style, and OE reference before installation. This Hygrade CV237 choke thermostat uses a male bullet terminal and a single electrical connection, so matching the original connector is important for proper fitment. Confirm the vehicle’s carburetor code and emissions notes shown in the fitment data, especially on 1981-1991 Ford LTD, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Ford Thunderbird applications.

Quality Assurance

Hygrade has served the automotive aftermarket since 1919 and focuses on carburetion coverage and quality for classic fuel-system service. CV237 is backed by that long-running aftermarket experience and catalog coverage for older Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications.
