What should you check on your 1969 Ford Mustang that is hard to cold start and then backfires once the engine catches?

Timing Your car needs to be in a good state of tune ( new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and timing set properly). I suspect you may have carb/choke problems ; A carb that 'gets you by 'in warm weather will really act up when it gets cold. Check this: when the car is cold pull off the air cleaner and see if the choke is fully closed; it should be.If it is not,your choke needs to be adjusted. Also the choke pull-off needs to 'pull' the choke blade off a fraction to allow air to enter the engine while the choke is on , and the motor is going thru the warm up period. I hope this helps you a little. Mark
