      Having a rough time resurrecting 350/4 barrel combo

      Engine tuning is not my strong suit at all. I started with FI and prefer to stay there. That being said, I'm trying to get my 85 C10 motivated again after sitting for a few years. It's a little bit Frankenstein as it has a TH400 leftover from it's BBC swap and the old 350 from my Impala.



      Carb is an old 4 barrel from the Impala, no choke of any kind. Trouble I'm having is I can't get the engine started from cold at all without priming the carb with gas. It will start right up once it's warm.

      Also, I need to work up a throttle linkage with a kick down switch for the TH400 (was apparently never there).

      The truck is worth bringing back - no rust anywhere and the bed has no dents at all. Should I just ditch the carb I have and start fresh with something that has an electric choke?
