I'm using an electric choke. Fed it with a relay just in case. It works but is pretty rich at start up and it comes on again after a restart when the ambient is cold but the engine may not be. It's not perfect but it does work.

Had a 625 A.F.B. on the old 66 Newport with an electric choke. Took longer to open than it needed to. I put a manual choke cable on it with an oval loop on the end. I could pull the cable out for automatic operation, then when underway ,push it in to force the choke open , prevent cylinder washing and fuel wasting. Or you could just put a manual cable on it and be done with it. Doesn't take much practice to master one.

Holley Double Pumpers are track oriented carbs and as such are calibrated very rich in the transitions and at cruise. Much richer than street oriented carbs. You may just try starting and driving it as is once it gets cold. Other than allowing an extra minute to warm up, it might be just fine. No heat cross-over could be a bigger problem in certain weather because of icing. My Cuda starts fine with no choke but it does ice up the carb and intake in certain weather with no heat in the cross-over. And I will add that I don't drive the car below about 45* or so.
Master, again and still

Manual choke. If you use one at all. I wouldn't. Never did on anything beyond stock. Unless you are going to drive it below freezing temps. You're just going to foul the plugs up.
If it's chilly, you should let it warm up some before driving it anyway.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
