Carburetor Recommendation

Ford Cortinas in Europe got a 36 DCD. 2 bbl progressive with removable choke tubes and no choke mechanism. Had fuel enrichment like some of the sidedrafts instead. You can still get them imported but they sure aren't cheap.

I googled 36 DCD and found one with a mechanical choke.
WEBER 36/36 DCD PROGRESSIVE/TWO-STAGE CARBURETTOR (Manual Choke) - Classic Carbs UK
656 British pounds plus shipping sounds like a lot of dinero.
I'd consider F.I. at that price.
