Hello, Bull,

Heed Rusty Rod's advice ("Ask our questions in the forum that is related to you question for the best answers").

As you did in your first post, be sure to indicate in each new thead the pertinent information identifying your year and model (engine, in this case). You indicated 1962 car engine (it would have hydraulic lifters).

Does it have an automatic or manual choke?
I think an automatic choke would have been standard on a car engine in that year?

I used to live near Albany, NY
There are members on/near Long Island who might be willing/able to visit you and help you.
The virus might, however, make members shy-away at this time?

Nonetheless, post a "request for assistance" in the The North Eastern 'Bolters forum. You have nothing to lose by trying.

Good Luck,
Tim
