No choke on my 63. I found out a few things over the years about this. I have an 850 DP and the DP are much easier to get started in cold weather without a choke then is any other carb with just one accell pump. Many carbs with one pump like AFB's and Thermoquads were much harder to get started with no choke. I can start my 63 in 25 degree weather without the chake. Hit the gas pedal 3 times and keep pumping while it cranks. Fires right up and of course you have to feather it for a few minutes to keep it running but its no problem. I start my car every few weeks thru the winter. Ron



I beleive it, many years ago on a Sunday when the Bengals went to the super bowl and it was really cold here. My DP 750 on my old rusty 73 340 challenger was the only car in the neighborhood that started. I ran errands for the old people who lived above my 1 room apartment. After that they seemed to accept me and my rusty noisey car more. Damn I was proud that day of my 150 dollar car.



i was in the military in connecticut years ago and there was a 70 chevelle with a stock 396 in the same barracks parking lot as my 71 duster.there was about a foot of snow on the ground and i never drove my car on salty ct roads but would start it up often.one morning the kid who owned the chevelle was cranking and cranking but no start.i asked him if he needed a jump as his battery was starting to die and he said yeah,you know how these old cars are hard to start.one tap on the gas of my duster and about 1/4 turn of the mini starter and she barked to an idle.he said wow this thing runs great,maybe we should race sometime!i lifted the hood and showed him the 440, tall single plane and fenderwell headers and he said maybe not

holley dp 850-no choke.
