I'm pretty sure it did too, but not 100%. I had an exclusive with a Weber DTML and some claimed it was original to the car, but I always doubted it. However I noticed on later Mantas, there's a factory choke mounting point on the left side of the steering column (opposite side to rear wash/wipe on the hatch) and that was the "official" place to have the choke cable handle, but unless you removed that lower plastic strip, you wouldn't ever see it. When I first worked on an early B, I removed the dash plastics and the metal choke point wasn't there, so someone at GM did think to add them later.
