This information might only be correct for manual transmission trucks?

manual chokes in:
1963, 1964, 1965 - 153 (4cyl), 230 6cyl, 292 6 cyl

manual chokes in:
1966, 1967 - 230, 250, 292 all 6 cyl

In 1968:
- "Turbo Thrift" 230 and 250 had automatic choke
- "High Torque" 230, 250, 292 had manual choke

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.

Much appreciated; any info on final model year for dash-mounted throttle?
