Quote: I have 2 cars that don't have chokes one is a 512 with a Holley 950 HP with no choke horn and electric fuel pump. The other is a 440 with a Holley 800 DP it has a choke and choke horn but it's not hooked up and a mechanical fuel pump. Both start about the same way after sitting for months.
While I will agree it sounds like his ignition switch is faulty, I'm still inclined to point the majority of the poor start up blame at his lack of a choke and fuel evaporation. Keep in mind that choke realated issues are going to be more pronounced in cooler climates (you being in Arizona likely helps you a ton).
*The May 2012 Hemmings Muclecar Magazine has an excellent column write up by Ray Bohacz explaining how chokes work, one of the best write ups I've seen in laymans terms.
