Personally I have found the OE mechanical choke to function flawlessly.

That's a beautiful car - thanks for sharing this video!
Thanks for the compliment.

Went with electric since that is what came on the new Holley carb. The intention was to keep the rebuilt q-jet,but it didn't work out. The q-jet was used on the 1st pull on the dyno. Found the carb to be very lean at idle and way to rich at WOT. Didn't have the time to fix and went with a Holley 750 CFM double pumper the dyno shop had. The engine loved it. The carb problem was an example of a lot things on this car. Got fed up and bought a new carb.
