Do I need a choke?

Thanks all, amazing response as always here! To comment on a few observations;

• I too find it strange that someone had removed the choke assembly altogether, we sure don’t get enough warm weather here in Stockholm!
• Yes I do have a 4 speed but I will definitely check the throttle linkage
• I haven’t removed the distributor myself, only played with the timing. But as it runs good and pulls strong when warmed up I don’t believe it’s off in relation to the cam.
• I’ve tried to give it more initial and tune it to maximum vacuum and it runs good also with about 22 degrees initial, but I’m afraid that will give it too much total as I don’t really trust my distributor and the curve

How much do you think going to a digital ignition setup (possibly hotter spark?) would impact this? If I were to go for a choke setup, would you say go for an electric or manual?
