Remote Start?
 

What is the thought of putting a remote start in a 69 c10..I have a carburated 305 out of a 78 Monte Carlo..Found a good deal on a remote start just dont know if anyone has really done it much to carb. engines? Any ideas?

Re: Remote Start?
 

it can be done and if remember right we used the comand start for diesels. i use the glow plug output wire to a 12 electric solenoid (like an a/c one) placed on the carb to set the choke as you would with your foot on the gas pedal. the remote start is as good as the truck is at starting when you start it. so if its a good well tuned truck your good to go, or your back to a good tune up before you start the install.

Thanks for the info, It basicly a one turn of the key to start, not sure how it will be in the winter though? Havnt had it in the cold yet, thats the bad thing. Any idea where I can get a solonoid for this job?

the comand start for diesels is the one for gas carb eng. solonoid and bracket from most pre 1986 gm small block a/c (pick a part or auto wrecker is your best bet)
