Default Re: cold weather start

:-) In the early 70's, it was so cold that a 6 clylinder 67 chevy won't start, 69 ford 429 won't start. My 31 A started ! Drove dad to his store to get a fresh battery for the 67. Got it started, but we gave up on the 429 ford after blowing the muffler apart. It was below 0*f, guessing about 15-20 below 0* My A cranked very very slow and didn't think it would start, had to drive in low gear for a couple of blocks before shifting.
