Push Start a Torqueflite For Me

74Dusted, l'm confused. You put it in neutral for a few seconds then back into drive and the wheels cranked it over without help from the starter? I myself have turned off the motor while coasting, and with it left in drive; the trans turned the motor until l put it into neutral, but if l went back to drive there was no engine turning.

Yeah. Did that for about 3 months, until I replaced the Quadrajet with a Thermoquad and never had an issue with it stalling, loading up or vapor locking again.

When I put an 833 in the Duster I transplanted that 727 into my V8 swapped Dodge D50, still seems to function like that, as the Holley on the 273 likes to stumble out if you go up/down a steep hill (fuel slosh slamming the floats shut). Start pumping the gas and it’ll fire back up. Never did try to drift start it while leaving it in Gear the whole time, it probably would work.
