new carb/intake build
so i just bought a new intake mani/ and my friend gave me his carb. holley 4160 but he lost part of the choke assembly, so now im confused Ist completly working carb and its manual choke. im missing the rod from the butterfly lever to the manual choke part so i rigd it together for now. is there anything special bout the choke? its only really used for starten the engine right?

Yes, only used to richen the mixture when the engine is cold. It's also tied into the throttle lever to increase idle speed also. If you don't mind playing with the accelerator a little bit, and letting it warm up before you take off, then you probably can get by until really cold weather.
There are lots of parts available for the holleys, and lots of used carbs laying around, so you have several permanent solutions to your problem. You could even buy a electric choke kit for it.
