    been working on my 55 olds. i installed a holley 4160 a few weeks ago. finally got it worked out and driving right. it seems to take a loooong time to warm up (15 minutes) in cooler weather maybe longer. what can i do to help her warm up quicker. (it has a manuel choke.) any help is appreciated.

    what are you running for a fan?
    thermostatic clutch, solid mounted, or electric?

    Maybe you will luck out and your motor will like that carb, but I have been running the same one on my 55 Olds for the last two years and it has never been right. I just swapped to a Edelbrock 1406 and what a difference. Make sure you have a thermostat, 180 works great in mine.
