A properly tuned Holley shouldn't need a choke in Southern California. One good pump of the pedal to about halfway, then crank it and it should fire right up. If not, something isn't right.
Agreed. My Warlock has an Edelbrock carb with no choke and I have started it in below freezing temperatures. It's grumpy, sure, but it will start.
MuuMuu, what ignition is in the car?
If the choke isn't the problem then maybe it's just me. I have an MSD Ready-2-Run.
