1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Cold Start

by 69_RAG_TOP Sat Mar 10, 2012 11:31 pm

This 1968 Pontiac Firebird had been parked up for a week in sub-zero temperatures.

The owner thought it would be a good idea to crank it over and warm it through a little. He'd recently had an MSD ignition system and new Edelbrock carb installed, so he was also interested to find out how easy it was to start after sitting.

The Pontiac was started with no choke. He cranked it over initially just to make sure everything was free, and to get the oil moving a little, then popped the hood to check the hoses. After that, and with a few pumps of the pedal, off it went!

The car is a bit of a project, but it's road legal. He'll be doing some more videos on it soon.
