Here’s where to discuss anything specific about your standard(ish) car or something that applies to the model in general.

One carb 'choked' (none of them have 'chokes' - they have 'mixture enrichment') will be fine! If it's seized - then un-seize it! Personally - I would get rid of the ghastly Strombergs and fit proper SUs......

I'm sure plenty of people will regard this as heresy, but I've driven and rebuilt both Strombergs and SUs and I didn't really notice much to choose between them. In fact my SU car sprang a leak at a seal and caught fire briefly at a stoplight, so if anything I preferred the ZS units after that...

Scotty your car is OZ spec so thankfully it won't have That stupid FASD piece of rubbish, that only applies to US spec cars (I duuno but, maybe Canada too)
You might find a double choke cable on some other ZS equipped pommy cars from the 70s. I know some Jags had them

Not so fast on the FASD. My '79 car has FASD. It works brilliantly. With the combination of an electric pump it starts and idles at about 1800 for a short period of time. Then slowly drops to normal idle. This is consistent even in cold mornings. On 6 year of operation I have never had to touch it.
