I had the impression Carb Doctor was in the USA as well, but Rusty (Canada) is the only one I can locate under that name. To Rusty's knowledge he's the only business on the web that falls under that label.
Say Tim, another question. I'm losing the external voltage regulator, any suggestions for a replacement that's internally regulated?

Edit: For what it's worth, here's Rusty's response. I don't know what a M4ME choke is yet. Sounds like 4MV is a divorce choke. I may have been wrong about the crossover, don't know what a "crossover choke" is, though I think he means the crossover in the intake. Be a twist if a divorce choke actually worked better because of ceramic coatings.
Hello,
This is Rusty (redacted). Over the years there have been a few Carburetor Doctors. I thought I was the last one, online at least.
Briefly, the best set up to use depends on which carb # you have and which manifold you're using. Ceramic coatings help retain heat inside the exhaust, which helps the crossover choke. The lack of a heat riser impacts the choke. In any case, for anything other than full-out winter operation the 4MV type choke would be fine. But it depends on which carb you're going to use.
The simplest solution is a late style M4ME electric choke carb. Out of the box, this carb would work well:

Restoring your 7041209 would cost $375, choke parts to fit a 1971 cast intake would run about $75. Time required for the restoration is around 8 weeks or so.
Regards,
Rusty
