The Quick Fuel carb has an electric choke and is a double pumper like the Holley I took off. The choke kicks in as soon as I move the throttle so it's working. The good thing about the Quick Fuel carb is there's site glasses on the float bowls and there's fuel in there from the start. I have got the thing to start a couple times but I have no idea what I did different those times. It just seems logical to me anyway, that once I smell fuel it's flooded. The car runs absolutely great once I get it started. I really don't think it's a problem with the MSD ignition. I pulled each plug wire and hooked it into a spark checked and had a brilliant blue spark at each plug. I'm thinking that it's a problem with the manifold being a single plane and not enough vacuum at the rpm the starter turns it over to vaporize the fuel. Almost to the point that if I can't get it started in August and September when it's 90 degrees I'd be afraid to take it somewhere and park it when it gets down in the 50's.
Thanks for all of the replies.....Don
