What is that?
It's when you buy one too many Cadillacs and your wife chokes you while demanding a divorce. :P
It's got something to do with the linkage and whether or not it is attached to the intake manifold.
It's actually when the choke spring is not directly connected to the carb, but it in a well in the intake and connected by a linkage - I think.
Our 67- mid 70s Q-Jets have this.
Yes its where the choke coil is mounted on the intake rather than in a round housing on the carb. For Cadillac Quadrajet started in 67 and was divorced through 74. There were at least 2 different divorced designs too, one fit in a round well and the other was more of a rectangle. 75 they went to an electric choke which was done using the same round housing as the integral choke it just had an electric heater in the cover rather than the fitting for the heated air inlet.
The divorced ones I think worked a little better because their wells were in the exhaust stream in the intake rather than having a 'stove' or coil of tubing in the stream and then a length of tubing leading to the coil in the carb. Downsides to the divorced design are that the well can fill with crud and every time you remove the carb you need to check and adjust the linkage because the thickness of the gaskets effects its adjustment.
Picture of a "divorced" choke along side the carb it belongs to.
