I had a lot of trouble the other day getting my engine to start. I eventually had to enrich each barrel to get it to fire up then lean it out a bit to smooth my idle a bit after it warmed up. Is there a way to choke these carbs initially to prevent this? Is there an easier way to start the engine when cold?

well he may not need heat in NO but if he should ever drive some place (new mexico, colorado, essentially north of the state line to some elevation) a cold morning will make him a believer in heat. i experienced 2 months worth of cold mornings @ FORT POLK in 1972. if he should ever sell his car the buyer pool gets limited with headers.
the CFR headers are beauties but for their cost a bit of a waste of money for no appreciable hp gains. |
