CSX 2000 Street Cars --- Were Chokes Used ?

[PANAVIA]

Don't forget the first cobras used automate 4100 carburetors , Tim you may want to pick a time period , then find an example csx number and follow that emulation, like 2289 that we saw at Saac 35,

There were so many changes with each smattering of cars ( even the gt350 had this same problem ) have differences within a particular model year,

Depending on the detail in question, one can go mad.

Steve,
The "first" car CSX2000 and some other early cars are either shown in period photographs or documented with factory paper work (CSX2018 for example) with Holley® brand carburetors. One exception for sure was CSX2006 which was finished new with a 2V carburetor. One very early HP260 powered car has its engine equipment shown very well in a new car road test article in a magazine, Holley carburetor on an aluminum low rise 1-4V intake and yes an automatic choke.

Documentation is lacking on most details but Ford Autolite® 4100s didn't seem to become the 'standard' until HP289 engines made their appearance.
