Stocker carb, removing choke plate ok ?

[GallopinGhost]

So I get where the rule book does not allow removing the choke. The reason I started this thread is because it looks to me if you are allowed a "replacement" carb, i.e. edelbrock, or quickfuel, which seems to be legal in stock, it spells out in the carb notes what mods you can do, and that includes removing the choke. That doesn't make sense to me, but that is what I see. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
