I have a new (well, it was new in 1997) Carter AFB on my '71 Imperial.  It is a 625 cfm version with the electric choke.

The 440 in my '71 was rebuilt and substantially beefed up (see http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1971/Scott/Engine/) and the 625 cfm is excellent.

The electric choke also works extremely well.  Even in cold weather, the fast idle only stays on for about a minute, and the car idles smooth.

Good luck!
