Remember, the (automatic) choke location in 1960 -- it wasn't in the 
carbs -- once they decided to change it for 61, they may have not had 
sufficient time to get the design change implemented  and working 
satisfactorily before the 61 models were finalized, so they defaulted to 
an old standby???  my best guess ...

Meaning 'Plan A' didn't work very good, and manual was 'Plan X'
