Carburetor Problem



No No, you don't want manual choke.  Trust me, manual chokes stink.  You want the electric choke option and they offer one with Chrysler linkage.  To hook up the electric choke, you just have to run a hot wire from a switched source like the ballast resistor.  The choke stove in the manifold will no longer be necessary.

The Edelbrock site offered up the following options for the retrofit carburetor:

1407 Performer Series; Carburetor; 750cfm; Square-Flange; Manual Choke; w/o EGR; "Universal Fit"
1411 Performer Series; Carburetor; 750cfm; Square-Flange; Electric Choke; w/o EGR; "Universal Fit"

As I haven't seen any wires attached to the Holly, I'm guessing that the manual choke option is what I'm looking for.

Also offered were these items which I don't think I need but possibly may:

Carburetor Stud
Carburetor Throttle Kicker
Carburetor Throttle Lever Extension
Kickdown Linkage

Does this sound correct?

You can't get an AVS new. Rather than deal with another old-used-rebuilt carb, I would suggest you go for a new Carter AFB or Edelbrock carb. The Edelbrock is based on the AFB. You can get a 750 or 625 cfm. I don't know which Imperials came with stock. I know that hp 440s came with 750 avs. Either should bolt right on, but you may need the linkage kit. Check out Summit or Jegs.
Good luck
