yes back then it was -pump the gas twice and twice only ,then 1/2 way down before you crank it, that's from cold ,hot was a completely differant book.
and
never mind if it keeps running after the key is off ,it will stop eventually.
almost infinite variables
we got it good today
This posted cracked me up. I had a ‘79 Powerwagon like this...
You had to put it in neutral and rev the rpms while stopped if it was too cold outside. And it choked out with too much throttle during a turn... not the ideal time to lose power steering.
I knew someone who had a Dodge Dart with the old slant six. The engine died every time you made a left turn while moving. Back then you could put the auto transmission in neutral and turn the key to restart.
It was a known quirk with that engine. Today it would be blasted over social media.
