Keep your choke and stock thermostatic air cleaner assembly hooked up, and you should enjoy trouble-free operation of your truck no matter how cold it gets.

Thanks to the many helpful members on this site, my carbureted 1985 Lariat will now start right up with one single pump of the accelerator every single time, no matter how cold it may get. Unless of course, I let it sit for over a week without starting it. It runs so smooth in fact, that most people actually assume I have EFI when they ride with me.
Excellent, I will definitely tun it up properly soon. Replacing the pinion seal, and a U joint tomorrow, then its on to the cab corners and floor pan!
