Clifford headers: now no choke for BBD. What to do?

Slants never had integrated chokes. They typically had a divorced choke thermostat which mounted in the intake runners close to the head and used a long linkage. Thousands of BBD slants were produced, why not just use the factory choke setup?

The Motorcraft 2100 is a great carb, better than late model BBD's ever were. They WILL NOT bolt to your manifold without an adapter. Then there's throttle and kickdown linkage hassles. There are several Weber DGEV kits out there for Jeeps as well.
