Remote Start In An Old School

[davewms9605]

I have a question about remote starts and 2-ways. I see alot of older cars (1987 on down to like 1970) with those 2-way LCD alarms with the remote start in magazines and on TV. Im new at this but i could of sworn that you have to have fuel injection for those. Is it true or am i looking at this wrong? I would like something like this on my ride. I have a 1985 Grand National Clone.

im not sure but my boy got oen fo those lcd screen alarms and what not.. he has to disarm the alarm then unlock it by hand he has a 88 impala and they said since its not automatic they cant do remote start or remote unlock they can only sensor it but he has to unlock it with a key.... i hope im on subject i didnt understand the question that good.

if its a clone shouldnt it have fuel injection i mean it is turbo charged correct ?

and it is possible to do them on carburetors (spelling) vehicles as long as you daont have to pump gas but even then an actuator on the throttle cable would work but not recommended for noobs

red navi if its not an auto it can be done but most shops wont because its a liability huge time also he can get actuators to solve the door lock problem

you CAN do manuals (neutral safety switch is highly reccomended, but not essential, it will work without it but you run the risk of it starting in gear which is veryeryvery bad)

you CAN do a car with no power locks (either disarm and unlock with key, or use aftermarket actuators)

carburetor is not something you'd want to mess with...chokes, pumping gas, unpredictable crank times...its all possible but not really something you'd want to mess with

(a lot of people put crate motors with fuel injection into older cars when the motor dies, we've had a few cars come through for remote starts and alarms that were basically resto-rods with a new crate motor and wheels and suspension, but old body and interior, classic style and modern running and reliability)

I lol'd at the imagery.

Walking out to your car. You're trying to show off, so you nudge the person next to you and say "Watch this." Hit the button and it runs into another car.

Then the announcer says "Wanna get away?"

IDK, maybe it's just me.
