Carb choke

I am looking to replace the choke I would like to go electric, the PO installed a manual choke kit I saw a electric conversion kit. Are these any good?

I put a Holley choke assembly on my 2100 a couple years ago now and have not had any problems with it. I believe one key thing is getting a full 12 volts to it. I can't really tell what is in the picture of the monitor.....I got mine off eBay, was fairly inexpensive.

Yes, the Holley choke wants 12V+ Direct Current.
The OEM Ford choke uses Alternated Current from the Stator(?) lug on the alternator.

I found this gauge on ebay for 35 bucks, anyone have any input on using one and any tips?

I want to dial in the 400 with this and a timing light in my '77 before sale and my 360/390 (have not measured stroke) in my '75.
