77 Trans Am Cold start vid
So I bought this car from Georgia. It's been there it's whole life, and probably has never seen snow. I had to move it out of the garage for the weekend and guess what? It snowed. lol
So I figured it be a good time to see how well I have the Q-Jet set up. I made a quick vid of the cold start just for fun. I filmed it vertically like a moron. It fired right up though. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hjKBl9xg2WQ

LOL. I like the way you wiggle your feet like your happy it started. I literally giggle every time a Pontiac starts.

I was trying to show the choke was actually working, and the car was idling on it's own. But I was pretty happy about how the car fired right up

Ran good. A little lifter ticking. Sounds like it went away by the time you got out. Probably just pumping up the lifters. Oil pressure looked great. Ya I liked the foot movement too.!!! lol

There's a ton of random noise in the vid. There's no window sweeps, door seals, window seals, and the AC compressor is waking up from a long slumber of not having a belt on it. I'll have to make another vid once it's painted and everything is installed.

Well it was cold as **** today, and had the car sitting outside the shop for 8 hours. Figured I'd make another vid.
