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?

How do you put a manual choke on an electronic choke vehicle? Wouldn't that mess with stuff?
