Do I need a choke?
Hey guys! After having installed a new intake (RPM AirGap) this winter my 340 is really difficult to start when cold. It’s an almost stock engine but slightly cammed. It has a Holley 750 DP without choke on it now and I’ve never had any issues doing cold starts before I changed the intake. Now I need to crank it for like 30 secs for it to start and it runs really poorly until it warms up. Once warm it starts and runs good! It has the stock mopar electronic ignition with the blue box.
Do you think the new intake requires a choked carb? If so, would I be better of getting a new carb or try to retrofit a choke to my existing carb?
I’m also thinking of upgrading the ignition this winter to a HEI or other digital setup, do you think an ignition upgrade would help solve the cold start issue without adding a choke?
Thanks!
