I have never found electric or hot air chokes to be reliable. I converted all my squares to a manual choke. Using a $12 kit from the auto parts store, I found it easy to route the choke cable so that it did not bind up. I routed mine behind the distributor and through the large rubber grommet near the steering column, then just drilled two small holes to support the bracket holding the choke knob - not visible unless you are lying on your back looking up at the dash.

With a manual choke, you always know when the choke is on or off.
