In the past - 428 with Holley and no choke. Pump the gas several times, turn the starter and may or may not backfire out the carb and then will start. Have to keep RPM at 1000 or will die. After a couple of minutes usually will stay running at idle. If I try to move the car before the temp starts to come up will most time die. Once warmed up runs and starts great. This is summer proceedure and cold weather is much worse. The present - same engine but with fuel injection
turn ignition till electric fuel pump activated & continue ignition to activate starter. Engine starts and immediately runs at idle and can put car in gear backing out of garage and can let it warm up in the driveway.

With the fuel injection it is like a totally different engine.
