2 Barrel talk
I put a bone stock 318 BBD that I rebuilt on my slant. It ran pretty great although I never could get that damn Lokar cable setup properly. It had power close to a stock 318 and it sounded awesome. I never did fabricate a linkage to run the choke but believe it or not as long as I was driving it at least every other day, it would start right up in 35° weather with 2 pumps and would idle on its own. It didn't idle smooth but it never died. Much under 35° and I had a trusty rubber band I would install to hold the choke shut long enough to start the car. After that I could let the choke fall wide open and it would still idle on its own. It was edneckin' as all get out but I was broke after I finished the swap and didn't have any time to really do the finishing touches.
And yes I know it was probably running pig rich.
