Was in a hurry, but main point is the choke may not warm up as fast without the exhaust heat valve. Also, depending on the combination of ways the crossover could be blocker or removed, the choke may not see much heat. Then there are the issues of physically connecting a choke bolted to a manifold to a carb, not to mention, it would need to be a carb that will accept a stock type choke. Anyhow, if buying an aftermarket carb for a daily driver, a unit with an electric choke is an easy choice. If you want the best driveability then the fuel injection.
