Hey everyone,

Brace yourself for a bone headed question that i will be asking you. I have been starting the 47 ford for the past 30 years without holding my foot down on the clutch. I typically just feather the gas pedal and adjust my choke accordingly while cranking it over and the car has never failed to start. But I have recently been watching some YouTube clips where others are stating you need to hold the clutch while cranking over.

Have I been starting my car incorrectly for all these years? I do know that newer cars with a manual transmission require you to hold the clutch down while starting them.

Thank you, Brian
