As far as having to pour fuel down the carb to get it started. Have you checked the fuel filter, maybe replace it. If that is good the next thing to check to see if the fuel pump is working. If all of is good the next thing is look into the carburetor.

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
