My 79 T-bird did the same thing the starter would "whine" once when cold..lol

@jwcasciato I agree with you. My first car was carbureted, and I never had a problem starting it. All the way to the floor once, turned the key, and it always started right up, no matter what the weather was. Let it run for a few minutes, kick the idle down, and never had a problem.

my hubby is buying this car for 500 bucks this frday. hope he is satisfied.
-
Is that the original paint? Those cars look huge now!
-
Sounds exactly like my 1979 Cougar with a 351m when your starting it. One of these days need to get a video on here to share.

@Alexn1067 Haha, they can get much bigger. Try taking a look at a 1976 ford Thunderbird or Lincoln Continental

I see these "cold start" videos, and 1 thing stands out: No one knows how to start an older carbureted vehicle! The first they do is start pumping the gas pedal! If the car hasn't been run for a year or more you may need to prime the carb - from under the hood, though. Otherwise, just turn the key to the "on" position, press the pedal all the way to the floor ONCE, and then release it. Now, turn the key. Let the choke do it's job! That's why these cars run like crap when they finally do start.

@jwcasciato Well thats the right way to do it. I always do one full press to the floor once and thats usually all she needs unless its below freezing or she's been sitting a long time.
