The Ford F250 we had had a hand choke. You had to know how to use it, or you'd turn the top end of the motor into a Superfund site.
The fun trick we used to do was to pull that choke out when decelerating with the throttle fully closed, to load up the exhaust with unburned gas. Then let go of the choke and go to WOT. She'd clear her throat and then let out a hell of a bang and send a huge fireball out the back when all that raw gas caught fire. After every 3 or 4 times pulling that stunt, I'd be underneath it putting the midpipe back together with the rusty U-bolts. That's some innocent fun, right there. Ah, simple pleasures.
