my question is, would it matter that when the choke is on it will be above the choke butterfly, should it be between the choke butterfly and the air cleaner.

No need to reinvent pressure balancing a model B carburetor. I have already written instructions on how to do this.
Just send me an email requesting the information. [email protected]

In this application it doesn't matter if it's before or after the choke plate because the choke is not on other than very momentarily.

Vehicles where the choke is on for extended periods, this would be important because it would pull a vacuum on the internal float bowl vent if located below the choke plate.
