1968 Polara Automatic to Manual Choke help

I wanna know if this is possible because my polara has a hard time starting but runs fine once you get it started. My uncle seems to think it is either the choke or starter and said I should try to find a manual choke conversion kit. Sorry if the question has been answered or doesn't make sense. I want to make it turn key before I possibly trade it for a 66 Coronet. Thanks in advance.
