Lee, I've always used either button or lever chokes, but my new car will have the set up that I saw in Darrell Greening's car at the Runoffs. He has a lever primer mounted through one of the aluminum panels in his cockpit, so the primer fuel lines are actually outside of the cockpit. I think the primer lines T into the fuel lines in the engine compartment. No more problem needing a choke at the last minute when you're already strapped in - which happens to me way too often. Dennis Kirk has primer kits, Cory
