I have not run a choke for years. I run a Holley 4150HP that has no choke, and I have not had any problems starting it throughout the year. Previously on some other cars that had manual choke on Edelbrock carbs, I did not bother to use the choke. My cars have warmed up fine and fairly quickly with my right foot choke. All of that being said, I live in Texas and winter does not get as severe as other parts of the country/world. Previously, I used q-jet '70s-style choke and other electric chokes.
I start the engine, run the engine at 1800 or so RPMs for a few seconds, slowly drop down a few hundred RPM or so intervals, and then move out when I feel that the engine is ready to smoothly take off. I have no heat to the intake manifold and just run an Edelbrock RPM with the factory engineered gap between the lifter cover and the intake.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
