This conversation has me confused.  Does everyone install a manual choke
on thier cars or am I missing something on mine??  I have no manual choke
and I am driving a 79.  The only problem I have had (other than deciding
it was time to put new plugs in) is the battery doesn't seem to have enough
of a charge much of the time.  But this is going to be fixed by dumping the
Lucas alternator in favor of a Delco later this spring.  But I digress.

Should my 79 Spit have a manual choke??
