I changed to a Holley 4160 manual choke carburetor on my '84 5.0L LX i had and it worked great, except for when it warmed up because sometimes i would forget to take the choke off and it wouldn't accelerate very well and my gas mileage would suck also

I'd rather have a manual choke on a carburetor than an automatic because you KNOW when the choke is on and when it's off, you're not guessing or trying to adjust it.
