'72 GMC P/U with 350 A/T Headers and Qudrajet 4bbl

Choke is working fine. But...I have to pump accelerator pedal 7-8 times in the morning, then it might start. If not, I pump it about 1 and a half times more then it starts.

The original 'cold start' instructions on the back of driver's side sunvisor says to press pedal all the way to the floor, and slowly release. Then start engine. If engine does not start, repeat procedure.

How do I get this to work right? I don't remember truck ever starting that easy, but would be great if it would.

Thanks,
Keith
