The guy I got "my " truck from is not a car guy at all. But, in the 15 years he owned the truck, he never knew it had a manual choke. The button on the dash was replaced with a generic lawn mower looking button without a letter C on it but he was priming the carb with gas or ether for 15 years because he didn't know to pull oput the choke to start the truck.
