It is possible on a Rochester 2GC that the linkage is backward. It is also possible, but less likely, that a 4MV could have the linkage backward. However, in either case it is possible that the choke thermostatic element is wound backward if it is a carb-mounted thermostat. Those in a well in the intake are less likely to have that happen.
