I need some assistance in choosing a carb for my new rebuild.
The past year my motor has been in the process of being rebuilt. A local machinist is doing the work, and assembly.
The motor is an original 351c 2v. The car a 71 Mach 1
The machine work is complete. I am installing trick flow 72cc chamber heads, comp camshaft 578 lift 230@ .050"
The automatic transmission is being replaced with a toploader.
The car will only be used for street.
Based on the cam specs, and heads, Trick Flow recommended using and Edelcrock RPM manifold, and a 750 carb. They also recommended a carb they produce along with Quick Fuel Technology, or using a Holley HP series 750
What I am seeing is that none of these carbs have a choke on them. Do most people choose not to run a choke on a modified motor? Pros, cons, options for carb with a choke?
What is the best way to control the secondaries, vacuum or mechanical?
