It appears that you are replacing the CCC carburetor so I would use a 1976 or later Chevy carburetor with a hot-air (or already electric) choke.  Make sure the linkage works for your set-up and you will need one with a provision for the TV cable.  If you have one of my books there is a chapter on carburetor selection......Cliff
