All my stuff has electric chokes, even converted an ancient Carter WCD (on my Gremlin) to have an electric choke - which was no easy task!
But I have a friend who has this strange hatred of all things electric. He runs points in the cars he can reverse engineer and more than a few times I've watched him rip out a perfectly good electric choke to replace it with a manual one.
All because 15 years ago, he had a Pontiac Parisienne that had an electric choke that never worked properly.
