[Healeys] Automatic Choke

Thermo choke introduced in July 1959 at BT7 2194. Manual choke reintroduced in
Nov 1959 at 6369 with all cars having them at 6395. Sounds like your car
should have had the thermo choke.

I've read where my BT7 may have originally been equipped with an automatic
hoke. Since I recently purchased it completely disassembled, I don't know
ow it was. There was a hole in the dash for the choke cable, but it was
obbled out and not in the correct location (although close). I had it
elded up but before I drill one in the correct location, I thought that I
etter check. Is there a way of knowing by looking at the carburetors? If
omeone changed it to a cable, maybe that evidence is gone. Or am I better
ff to just go with the cable for the reliability? By the way, it is a 1960
nd the VIN is HBT7L04455. Thanks.
