This truck has the holley 2bbl, non feedback carb.
After the initial choke on cold idle it runs god awful piggy rich for 10-15min. Burbling, stumbling bogging down etc. if I drive it. Once it warms up it's perfect, has decent power for a 1984 small V8 truck.
Is this a choke issue? Is it not pulling the choke off correctly?
This truck needs to have a full tuneup and it was originally tinkered with while in florida(found a repair order from 1987 concerning the choke) so I'm thinking it might not be tuned right for our colder weather here in Michigan.
Anyone have any tricks for these 80's smog machines? I'm new to the older mopars, grew up on GM platforms.
