Choke?
If I plan on just using the car in the summer, will I need a choke? My carb at the moment has a manual choke, and I would rather not drill another hole in the firewall.

I needed to adjust mine every morning when I lived in MA . . even in the summer. I went to an electric choke after about 2 months.

You don't NEED a choke. I drove my Camaro for about 15 years without one.
I finally bought a different Q-Jet and got one with an electric choke. The way to go, IMO.

Summer only? Up here in Canada I get along fine without a choke as well. Started it as low as 38F....not turn key but it still started up no problem after a few turns and pumps.
