Whats the difference between manual choke carbs and electric choke carb? What is recommended if Im looking to upgrade my 307? Any advantages or disadvantages to either one? |

Re: Carburetor Question?
Manual chokes use a cable to the inside of the cab to control the opening an closing of the choke. Electric choke is wired to a keyed 12 volt supply to gradually open the choke (some wire it to the 12 volts from the alternator).
A lot of people like the idea of opening and closing the choke themselves so their preference on these older trucks is a manual choke. Others prefer to not mess with it and install an electric one. It's all a matter of preference and whether you want to change the setup you have now. My 68 GMC is manual and I like it.
