VERY cold start 1984 Monte Carlo SS

Doing some cold starts on some of the crusty old vehicles sitting around. Despite it being sunny, it was about 20 degrees outside.

[@blazenrestok5796]

Word has it he’s still pumping that pedal

[@CrazyWoody1989]

And that word would be true! Because I still haven't rebuilt the carburetor or fixed the choke. Maybe someday I'll get my priorities in order

[@chrisrogers8927]

I thought that pumping the gas that many times floods the carburetor? I just bought a 1984 Monte Carlo SS and I can get it to start with two pumps of the accelerator and holding the accelerator down about a forth to a half way down while cranking.

The choke is broken on the carburetor so it doesn't work at all, it takes A LOT of pumping. I've got another Quadrajet to rebuild and put on it, but I just haven't gotten around to it. There's other stuff that the car needs fixed that are higher priority at the moment lol

[@CrazyWoody1989]

An unnecessary amount. But it's what makes the video I suppose; Next time I'll just fill the float bowl and prime it. My leg is still sore to this day LOL

[@Jac2Mac]

This 1984 Monte Carlo has the flute-like tone for the key in ignition reminder. Did 1984 Monte Carlos ever use a scary buzzer on certain models or just the flute-like tones?

[@CrazyWoody1989]

I want to say they all used the flute like indicators, but I don't know for a fact. I know I had an '84 impala once upon a time and it had the buzzer in it. I also had an '85 olds delta 88 and it had the buzzer as well.

[@Jac2Mac]

I was surprised to hear that. I thought Oldsmobile would have stopped using the scary buzzer on the Delta 88 by 1984 or 1985 and just used either the flute-tones for the base models or a chime on all models.@@CrazyWoody1989

[@CrazyWoody1989]

I'm not sure when they started using the chimes exactly, seems like even my '94 c1500 uses the flute tones. I'll have to go out there in a minute and stick the key in it and see lol

[@JuniorFan08]

Drives me nuts to see someone pump the accelerator like that. More than 2 or 3 pumps and you are wasting your time. Pump it a couple of times, hold the pedal half way down and crank. If it doesn't start, do it again. Sitting there pumping is just a waste of time.

As far as I know they never made any of the G body cars with fuel injection if they had a v8. They made lots of them with 6 cylinders that were fuel injected though, but I don't know what year that started.

You don't see many 70's model Monte Carlos of any body style so that's pretty cool. But also the G body (78-88) Montes are really starting to gain some popularity and value. Really though at the end of the day it just boils down to which one you like better and that's all that matters. Either one would be very enjoyable.

I'd grab the 87 if you want to race it and build it into a fast car but if you want a good Cruiser I'd get the 76 they suck on speed, handling and gas but are comfortable cars

Dont pump the gas that much... cold start should only need anywhere 3-4-5 pumps if that doesnt not start it, u need to pump it the same amount of times as u turn the ignition the same time

[@CrazyWoody1989]

Trust me, it takes that much pumping. But also the car hadn't been started in months, and despite the fact that people keep feeling the need to point it out, I am and was already aware the carburetor is in a very bad way. It needs replaced big time. I rebuilt it years ago and it worked perfectly until the choke broke on it, then it sat around for like a year and just gradually got worse and worse. I have one to replace it with I just haven't gotten around to it since the car isn't a daily driver currently. It needs a lot of work all the way around
