I have a 1966 Mustang with a 289 and i have a little problem with it. Everytime i turn on the engine I would have to rev it up a little for five minutes until it warms up because if I leave it at idle the engine turns off, But when the engine warms up the engine runs smoothly and normal at idle. My friends 80's Blazer also does the same thing on his.What could be the problem? What could i do to fix this little problem? Any suggestions?

Choke out of adjustment

I agree with everyone on here that it is the choke, but before you start it, push the pedal all the way to the floor and release it (it actually says this in the original owners manual). The choke is mechanically held open on some carbs., and pushing the pedal all the way to the floor will release the stop holding the choke open.

For the 66 Mustang, do you close your choke first before starting the car?

more than likely your choke is malfunctioning or you don't have choke. find a good carb. man.
