I put manual chokes on carby stuff- they work EVERY TIME.
Plus I don't care if there's a hesitation or anything at cold idle... because I DON'T COLD IDLE. I start it and go. If it means feathering the throttle a bit for the first 30 seconds, so be it. I will survive. And I have.
The '59 doesn't even have any choke on it; I disabled the auto choke and meant to put a manual in but I've found that a couple of pumps of the gas pedal will get her started, then a little of the aforementioned feathering, and we're off in style! Of course I don't use it in the winter, though.
Re: cracked manifolds: If I couldn't find one, perhaps it could be successfully welded? If not, couldn't a header be fitted?
