Greeting from St.Louis, new home of a mostly restored 1960 Bird. Lot of bird fans here, particularly cardinals. The square variety draws whistles whenever she's out foraging.
Right now she's against waking up on cold mornings. Even though she has a professionally rebuilt autolite sitting on top. Rises and shines fine when the temperature suits her--60 degrees at least. Not interested otherwise. Runs like a Kenyan miler when she does stretch her legs.
Read some of posts about folks switching to Edelbrocks. I have an old (redundancy alert) Desoto that had Carter problems. Popped an Edelbrock on several years ago. Runs like a rocket. Starts right away.
Bird and Desoto both have electronic ignition. Bird has new cap, wires and plugs. Didn't change coil (might do that after reading post here).
Wore out both thumbs fiddling with choke setting.
If anyone has suggestions, I'd be in your debt.
I'll shoot some pics and post them if it ever quits raining.
Car has all new interior, no rust, great chrome and paint and is a kick to drive.
Thanks in advance for help.
Phil
