Trying to figure what model this is as all I'm good for is brands ..

Choke and links are missing and I can't get her to stay running, engine bogs down, slight back firing and lot of stalling ..

I want to order an electrical choke -

Going to eventually go EFI but need to sort her out before I make any high dollar expenditures.

Thanks in advance !

Also - I'd like to do a full MSD ignition set up, distributor, coil and 6AL box ..

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

There is a list number on the front of the choke horn. You need that number to buy parts for it my guess is 1850 or 3310 most common vacuum secondary holley carbs you see.

The Holey pictured has a manual choke and appears to be complete other than no cable is attached. Does appear to be a common aftermarket list number, should be able to fit a Holley electrically heated automatic choke kit.

That looks like your basic 1850 series carb. so it's a 600 cfm unit. They work well right out of the box on small blocks.
The choke is a manual type, it needs a cable hooked up to it to make it work properly.
I agree with cudajunction that the choke plate should not move with the manual choke setup.
You need to move the choke arm all the way forward untill you hear a 'click', then the choke will stay open all of the time.
