  1. When an engine is cold, the walls of the intake are below the "dew point" of gasoline. Meaning that, vapoized fuel will condense on the walls of the intake rather than travel into the combustion chamber, causing the car to run lean. The pupose of the choke is to restrict air into the intake so that the mixture will be richened until the intake warms up.

    Which usually takes 3-5 minutes.

  2. I believe he's talking about a two barrel made by Rochester. Most people only think of the Rochester Quadra-Jet which is a fantastic carb but gets a bad rap for silly reasons (mainly because people don't take the time to tune right).

     

    Cool another Rochester guy!

    I'm not sure which Rochester he'd be talking about, especially on a 2.3l Moustang motor. I'm going to install a Holley/Weber on my '83 here pretty quick. The other fun option is the bigger holley two barrel that ford used. The 350cfm units are pretty easy to come by, but they also make a 500cfm.
