Not Wanting to Fire When Its Cold

[colorado815]

My 64 Impala is not one that will fire in the cold.It has to be over 50 out side b4 she'll do her thing.
I have done the following: New inginition (MSD), fuel pump,alternator, battery, timing chain. The carb has an elec. choke, which both were reset b4 moving to Ar. in May.
Any suggestion's????

Carb is an Edelbrock 650 with elec. choke. All have been set. Ya and I do pump it. If not carefullshe will flood.

Check your fuel lines, sounds like it drains down overnight. takes a while to pump up to carb. Check all rubber hoses and fittings, bet thats the problem.

pump the gas pedal 3 times then
mash the pedal to the floor
then crank it over
as soon as it fires up
let the gas pedal up

my 2 cents worth
it works for us and we have a lot colder weather up here in the frozen north
