No choke Holley carb
I have a 750 holley double pumper on my car and I am putting this together soon. I wanna know since there is no choke on the carb, how hard is starting the car going to be? Any tips? The carb came with the car so not compaining for $900.

Same here. No choke and fires imediately even below freezing. The only advantage of a choke is you can jump out of the car while it warms up. I removed mine for clearance reasons. I don't think there are real perfomance gains on street cars due to no choke and better airflow. If its a daily driver and you live in cold climate the choke would definitely be nice, but the car will not start any easier. It will just stay running easier for the first minute or so.

once the car warms up it'll run identically to one with a choke, the only problem l have with my demon is until its been running for a good 10 minutes l can't really get on it at all. it bogs a little when its cold, but once it gets warmed up it'll really scream, starts right up with a few pumps and after letting it sit for 30 seconds it'll stay running in gear too. I agree that chokes are way overrated.
