Does a 1967 Series 1 car have the same levers/pulls?

Fiat made so many design iterations that I always have to ask whether someone is explaining a series 1 or series 2 car.

Naive question but how is the air box choke expected to be used/operated? Should the airbox flap be closed when I am attempting to start the car?

See picture. How do I connect a strobe? Do I connect it to the first cylinder spark plug cable to see ...

I got the car to start momentarily but the engine sounded off, there was a few pops when it started, it ran for about 45 seconds and then stalled. Couldn’t get it started again.
