Ponds 482 with single Holley ... no choke . Right now temps are in the low 90`s ( finally cooling off ) and overnight cold , engine starts with 1 or 2 pumps on the pedal . Hot , just hit the starter . If engine is cold , it will NOT idle on its own for at least 2 to 3 minutes ... it has to get to at least 160 degrees .
My 427 Galaxie also has no choke ( dual quad ) . Winter requires about 5 or 6 pumps to get it to fire and then constant pedal pressure until it is warm .
