cold startup
is there any way to make my engine more friendly in cold situations? right now it needs a solid 5 mins of warming before itll idle without dying, and thats with the idle set a tad too high.

Re: cold startup
you have a '70GTO with a nortstar engine?? Now that's sacrilege!
If it's the stock q-jet, verify the choke is working right. If so, check the 3 choke settings.
Now that it's coming into fall again, I think we're going to be hit with the standard plethora of choke tuning questions... I'll have to dig up my one post where I explained them all with pictures...
