Electric choke is good to have. Manual choke is when you have a cable to pull to make it easier to start when its cold. I can't remember when they quit using them. Your truck must not have a manual one.

I agree. If you buy a used carb you should rebuild it.

The only thing you MUST have with a manual choke is a brain bigger than the one in the vehicle!!!!
