Re: valve clearence , B motor
I don't know if it applies to "B" cams, but Les Andrews' book calls for .013" for intake valves and .015" for exhaust ford Model A cams. Maybe others here on the Barn will chime in.

Re: Choke rod
Shoot the rubber grommet with silicone spray lube or WD40. If that doesn't help, replace it.
