Hey DRobb- Don't rub it in, the wind gets cold up here in the concrete canyons. I agree with 87- I like the manual chokes, that's how I learned to drive. But I've got bigger mechanical "fish to fry" so I can live with the electric choke. That was good advice to adjust the choke a tic, but whatever you do- do one thing at a time and test.

If you're interested in learning more about the Q-Jet, other than asking in the Engines & Drivetrain forum, check out Doug Roe's Q-Jet bible, Rochester Carburetors. You'll get all the info you'll ever need. I bought mine used on Amazon. Maybe $12 shipped.
