Don't know how well it would work with a carb, do you have to pump the pedal a few times before it starts? As far as removing the door locks I don't see that slowing any car thieves down, a good steering column collar will!

With a working choke and good tuned carb its not a problem if you have to pump it to start it your choke isn't working right.

You're forgetting that you need to depress the accelerator to allow the choke to close. There's no such thing as a choke that closes by itself.

I had remote start and keyless entry (doors shaved) on my grand prix and am working on doing this to the Monte. I had no problems with it starting by remote, the only problem i would have is forgeting the keys in the car and shuting the door but after a few times doing it i had no problem rolling down the window with a hanger. The Monte has power windows so im going to make sure i have a backup switch to trigger the doors.

thanks for the ideas i guess i could look into it more but i know the starter needs replacing so once thats done i shouldn't have any problem getting it started, how easy is this to change out(the starter)

Its alot easier if you can get the car in the air. Iv done them on jack stands and its a pain tryin to hold a 30 lbs starter with one hand and starting a bolt with the other while laying on your back.

X2 especially when the replacement starter was bad to begin with, back under the car we go. good news is your forearms get a nice little workout lol
