I grew up with these mid year vettes and owned many until I swore them off 30 yrs ago. Apparently they kept haunting me until last year I could no longer resist and just had to pull the trigger on another. Oh im so glad I did.
One BEAUTIFUL 64 Corvette, love the color combination, you folks have some of the best quality cars and trucks, enjoy all your videos on these classics and this one is really SHARP, one day when I hit the Lottery, I'm gonna come visit you folks, excellent video on this BEAUTY, THANKS!
@@QualityClassics I also noticed the convertible in the back ground, it looks like a 49 Plymouth, my first car was a 49 Plymouth 4 door, my Dad paid $100 for it, first straight shift I ever drove, 16 years old, 1967 Great Memories.
Need to set the choke, the choke plate is still wide open from when you parked the car HOT, mechanically if you don’t press on the accelerator pedal you will not allow the choke plate to close…. Pushing down on the accelerator pedal is only to set the choke when COLD ….
This1964 fuel injection engine has very high compression and points and condenser ignition. What kind of fuel are you using. They can be easily modified to burn 93 octane but that has to be done
Question ?....Do you pump the gas pedal on a fuel injected car? No. There is no need to press the gas pedal when starting a fuel injected car its not a carb. Why is the antenna leaning back ?. They came from the factory straight up.
The Corvette mechanical fuel injection is not much like any late model fuel injection. I believe the 64 has a choke that has to be set by depressing the gas pedal once for cold starts.
A properly tuned carbureted car starts as soon as the first piston comes up... don't even hear the starter cranking it over... unless has been sitting undriven for some time...

My 64 shifted into 4th at 140 mph
We still refer to them as “Mid Years”, even though from today’s perspective they are not so “Mid” anymore.
