North Jersey...25 miles to Manhattan....I could see the Empire State Building as I get on the highway....usually this time of year, we are about 48*-50*
This morning, it was 15*....we pretty much see that only in the last two weeks of January.  Working in an unheated garage isn't fun for us city-folk!  Although, last year, I purchased a propane heater that got me through some smaller projects.  Some old-timers tell me it's best to work on the carb in the spring...but the car should run properly when it's cold, too..right!!?? ;D

A rebuild kit and new E-choke would be on my wish list.  I would also replace the choke pull-off while you are working on the carburetor, it's the next thing in line to fail as the rubber in the diaphragm is decades old.  Once you get the carb completely/correctly rebuilt with good parts, new choke and P/O, you will enjoy many years of use from it without any issues. 

The parts in our kits are upgraded for this new fuel.  I would get our SR kit, it has all the good parts in it and the most complete in this industry......Cliff
