    Dan, I drove those cars at those temperatures back in the day.....when you pump the throttle to the floor you engage the choke unloader....if you squeeze the throttle to the floor once before cranking and then crank with half or two thirds throttle it should fire faster. You are using the accelerator pump to force fuel in, but if you let it pull fuel through the carb with the choke shut, it is an emulsion and is better vaporized.

    @jamesanderton344

    @l o l they are finicky....I used to convert them to a cable operated setup. Kits were once readily available to do this. To check yours, remove the air cleaner lid and look at the front two barrels of the carb. Do this cold. The choke plate on top should be wide open. Then depress the accelerator three quarters to the floor once gently and look again. The choke plate should now be closed. You want that plate to open a little after the engine fires, then fully when it is warm. It opens two ways, by flooring the accelerator, or by heat. The heat comes either from a tube that transfers engine heat to a small round housing on the outside of the carb at the choke plate shaft, or by an electric heating element in that same small housing. If you remove the lid and look again after the engine is fully warmed up, you should see that plate fully open. Also worth a look is the vacuum motor in the air horn that diverts the intake air, drawing it from a small heat stove on the exhaust manifold. Helps warm it up faster. If you flood it and it won’t start, you have to hold the pedal down while cranking, no pumping. Lots of complications before they put fuel injection in these things!

    This is a true fact...HERE IS WHY. Stomping up and down on the pedal, especially cold weather, WHILE CRANKING, will just induce problems.. like flooding it out. (saturating the plugs with raw, un-atomized gas) Stepping on the pedal ONCE and releasing the pedal will close (and set) the choke. That's how it works. NOW, TO PRIME A COLD ENGINE, Without Cranking It, you can step on the pedal several times so that the Accelerator pump can inject a few extra squirts into the VENTURY, (the airway or throat of the carb) incase you didn't know. Now release the pedal (Quit stomping on it) and allow the choke to remain closed and to do it's job. Crank several seconds and repeat until it starts. Then feather the gas to keep it running if necessary.

    I've been living in the northern part of Sweden (Luleå) for about 10 years. I was forced to start the engine in my car, doing that activity literally every single day! The temperature was -36 degree in january and february. I was the owner of SAAB 9000 and then Saab 9-5 (engine: B235e). I've never had any kind of the problems with ignition of my cars. But one thing is true: sometimes I was forced to take away car battery from the vehicle and bring it straight to my apartment and recharge it during the night. You're truly lucky guy, if there is a lift in your flat house! :-)

    In the north central US we used "tank heaters" in farm tractors and cars. There are a number of tricks to use when it gets below -20F. Deep in Alaska where it really gets cold (not by the coast) aircraft have the oil drained after landing. Oil is stored inside the cabin all night. Our diesel tractors on the farm used 30w oil which required heater magnets on the crankcase or else the oil was not going to move. We have a heavy population of Scandinavian descendants in the region so cold is just part of life. :)

I remember it all, Chevrolets had that bent gearshift with a rubber thing on top, Ford’s had that same gearshift from about 1969 to 1976 before making it plastic, Ford cars had a rectangular dome light and GM cars had a round one with a star in the middle unless you were fancy and got map lights.

    @@DanielLoveReel ya man, with a properly set carb, you only need to pump once and turn the ignition. Pumping once sets the fast idle cam in place and primes the circuit. When you start, the choke is just partially open to get a craploada fuel into the carb (rich mixture)..then as it warms up, the choke will slowly open on its own to lean out the mixture. Pumping it a million times is still not going to give enough fuel for a proper start and with your choke opening and closing, you're really just pissing in the wind. Also, never crank your starter longer than 15 seconds... or you will burn it up.

    I'm surprised this thing is still running to be honest. My family has owned ford's from basically every decade going all the way back to the 1930s all the way until the late 2010s. From our experience, the quality and reliability of Ford's products were at their lowest point in the 70s and 80s. Goes to show that even during one of ford's worst periods for quality, their cars were still relatively decent.

    Loved seeing the '67, I grew up in Michigan and had a '64 Galaxie 500. As I recall, cold weather starting was to press the gas pedal to the floor to "set the choke, " release and then press the 'gas' down about halfway while starting. Then turn on the heater and defroster and go back inside for a cup of coffee. So glad for electronic ignition.

Luckily, it was on a road with little traffic so we didn't crash into anything. That was the end of the LTD. I'm sure the minimal upkeep, salt, rust, potholes in OH led to its demise.

    You don't crank an engine like that. You can damage the pistons and the piston rings can cut grooves into the cylinder wall. You have to let the oil loosen up and coat the valves and pistons first. Also the coolant practically freezes in the block. Newer vehicles would probably be okay. But a 50 y.o. vehicle ya gotta be gentle. Also, very impressive. No rust or rot. Just make sure you wash under the car and the rocker panels occasionally so the salt doesn't build up and you should be fine for years to come. Tip: another thing people often forget is to clean the drain holes on the bottom of the lower rear inside door skin. They can get clogged with dirt and old leaves, pine needles, etc. Check them periodically or your rocker panels can get moisture in them and rot from the inside out and it is a pain to cut and replace the metal.

All you experts with your advice of one slow pump to floor, set the choke, fill the bowl...etc would never have made it to work in my car.

    My '66 Nova with the 194 6 would start on days my mom's '78 Fairmont wagon with the 200 6 wouldn't. Ford specified a small battery for the Fairmont, so we started taking it inside on extremely cold nights so it would start the next day. The automatic choke on that car was a bit finicky as well, so you better let it warm up. The Nova, pump it twice and breathe on the key and it would go.

    I had a four door 72 nova with a 307 that would start up pretty quickly after pumping the gas peddle a couple times in a 0 degree morning. That engine was nearly magical with +200k miles on it and I had the carb and stuff tuned perfectly. Also I replaced the points ignition with an upgraded HEI setup so that might of helped too. The real easy mode was when I swapped in a 350 with a new subframe. With that engine I could floor the pedal a couple times to set the choke before cranking and it'd start right up on those 0 f days. Always made sure to give both engines plenty of time to warm up before going anywhere as they were not generally happy in that weather before warming up. @Tony Bright I had forgotten about breathing on the key before using it.
