One thing I do on mine is to crank it over for a bit withoit starting it to ensure there is fuel in the bowl. Wait and then see if there is seepage. If nothing is showing then move on to the fire up. And watch again while everything warms up.

Almost forgot......... on the first "start up" of the year I pull the coil wire and crank it for a  good 30 - 45 secs just to get some things flowing....

So if I parked the Challenger say December 22nd or 23rd & decide to go for a cruise on New Years day I'm supposed to crank the engine for a minute before starting the car?   :thinking: :huh: :D

I would say no.  Everyone has their own preferences to fill their carbs.  1 week is no big deal.

I would say yes. That old car probably needs a new camshaft anyway.

This is the great thing about an electric fuel pump.

Flip the switch - done.
