Default Re: choke setting

That's correct! the Early to mid-fifties 2-bbl carbs had a fast-idle cam in the fashion of a bump-out in the choke actuator lever, which pushed the accelerator lever back, translating to movement forward via the lever pivot point. However, the cam allowed for slower fast-idle speeds as the choke knob was pushed in, as you can see in this photo
