Rochester Monojet Question...

[Oregoon]

Hey everyone!

It's been a while since I posted, though I lurk around pretty often...

My bone-stock '74 is running like a champ, though my Rochester 1bbl carb features that atrocious thermal-choke, and it causes me a lot of headaches. It stays on for waaaay to long, and doesn't seem to like my HEI very much, either. I would swap that carb out, but it's original, in excellent shape, and once that choke opens, it performs well and my 250 delivers a consistent 18 mpg.

I'd prefer a manual choke, though I'm not sure if our squares came with such a thing? My interior is near-perfect and totally original, and I'd like to keep it as close to that as I can. Anybody have interior or under-hood pictures of the choke (if indeed squares were so equipped)?

I'm heading to Old Car Parts at lunch today, but figured I'd ask here, too!

Thanks in advance!
