    Hey, all,

    I am a new owner (11 days) of a 78 F100 Ranger that has a rebuilt 400m engine (15k), rebuilt C6 transmission (10k) w/shift kit, edelbrok carb and intake, MSD ignition, super coil high flow fuel pump and a K&N air filter. The manual choke seems to be working well, but it takes my baby a long time to warm up, I know she is cold natured, but is there a way to speed up the warm up process?

    The neighbors are a little restless as I growl my mint and emerald green baby through the neighborhood. I was wondering what would be the best route to quieting my little kitten down, at least while she is idling in my driveway?

    Looking forward to hearing from you all.

    CW

    welcome... A new quieter exhaust would help. Maybe check the thermostat.
