Square-bore vs. spread-bore?
That is a (IIRC) demonsizzler prepped TQ with the choke horn front and sides removed. A choke is the last thing it needs. So, yep!
The factory choke is only going to work with an available choke well. Very few aftermarket intakes have this ready to work with the carb. No single car planes have a choke well AFAIK.
I have fussed around with a manual pull cable connected to the factory choke. The have NEVER like the way it turns out. It was workable but a PIA to get it smooth and consistent enough for me to know exactly where the choke was. This is more due to an unfinished tinkering. I guess I could work it out if I really wanted to but I did t wanna go down that rabbit hole myself. I end up looking for perfection rather than leave “Good Enough” and let it ride.
There are 2 styles of TQ’s that can be used easy.
The smaller electric choke versions & the 2 race versions.
Of course we all know of the book on Carter carbs and this book cover picture below. The bottom picture is of the big race version of the TQ where you can see on the upper right side of the picture the clamp and system for a manual choke cable.
