My son has a 1968 F250 with the 360 and a 2 motocraft bbl carb. It has
a manual choke. Anyone know of an automatic or electric choke we can
add?

Thanks,
CoachJeffc

I'd check in junkyards or even online...get the factory original carb and
you should be set

The original factory carb comes complete with a manual choke.

I've been driving American vehicles longer than I care to mention...and have
owned my share of 60's Fords; none of them had manual chokes.

Swap it out with another carb with an automatic choke : )

Why would you want to do that? First of all, it's a truck; manual chokes
are par for the course. Secondly, they may require user input, but they're
usually considered to be more reliable than an automatic choke with its
linkages and adjustments.

Maybe I'm missing something; fill me in! :-)
