There shouldn't be a choke tube on that motor.

There should be a bi-metallic spring on the intake.

That's an easy one...............

The bolt head is rounded off because they couldn't get it out!

Grind it off flush and forget about it?

Nope - the boss that's drilled for the hot air tube on a '65 396 is in the #2 runner, just below the junction with the #4 runner. Whatever that is, it's some Bubba thing.
