But I grew up with my parents driving old carbureted cars and I will always remember them pumping the pedal and cranking until the engine started lol. guess it's just a childhood memory thing.

Those are some good pics of frankentruck btw!
Thank you! Sounds like a good childhood memory.
Switching to an electric choke made a world of difference in the drivability year round. The Quadrajet I'm running will start every time with one pump of the gas unless it's been sitting for longer than a week
