remote start, carb engine, 70 monte carlo

I have a 1970 monte carlo with carburater i'm installing a trackpro alarm with remote start . I have install the alarm and remote start but the remote start  requires that I hook up the hand brake light and switch in order for the remote start  to crank the car. The manual says if the hand brake is released when pressing remote start button the engine will not start. My car doesn't have a hand brake. So the remote start wont work . I need help on what I can do since I dont have a foot brake. 

So you are saying your car has no emergency brake at all?

Connect the wire to a 2 pin switch and ground the other pin. This will simulate you putting the brake on....

This my first alarm and remote start install. Where can I get a 2 pin switch and I do have an emergency brake. So do i install the 2 pin switch to the emergency brake . I would really apprciate more info. Thanks in advance.

Is the car a manual or an automatic?
If a manual is there an e-brake warning light on the instrument panel?
If so wire to that. If auto just ground it.
Next problem will be to wire up an actuator to pump your throttle.
Good luck.

yea you will never have a reliable remote start with any carburated engine. everytime you have a cold start after the car has been sitting for a while you will probably have a failed remote start because nothing is there to pump the gas.

about your original post, you keep going back and forth saying you dont have a hand brake or foot brake? which is it? you dont need to have a hand brake for remote start and the foot brake connection is only needed to shutdown the remote starter so you can drive off with the car.

if you are looking for the emergency brake/parking brake and you dont have one then you should probably just hook that wire up through a switch like some other people posted. this way you have control over whether to activate the remote start or not.

if this car is a manual transmission then no amount of brake will keep the car from moving forward if you try to start the car in gear. you need to make sure the car has a reliable neutral safety switch that you can use to stop the remote starter from starting if the car is left in gear.

the car is 1970  Monte Carlo 350 engine with 4bbl carb and 350 automatic transmission. the emergency brake is a mechanical brake it doesn't have a electrical switch hook to it . the alarm trackpro with remote start has a wire that hooks to foot brake light and switch. I have that installed already. the other wire is the hand brake light and switch. that's the one I need to hook up. but I don't have a hand brake in my car nor does the foot emergency brake have a electrical switch.

.

its fine,just hook it to a 2 pin toggle switch and leave it on. i guess the remote starter just wants to see a parking brake to start as a safety measure.

still your problems are just beginning if you have any expectation of having a reliable remote starter on anything with a carb.

Thank you guys

I have a 1970 monte Carlo 350 carb engine and automatic trans. I have install a trackpro alarm with remote start. I have the alarm module, alarm siren, alarm senor, alarm led and remote start  working fine. I don't have the starter disable circuit install yet. My car doesn't have power door locks. The problem i'm having is when I disarm the alarm and start the car. After about 25 seconds the alarm auto rearm turns back on. It comes on while I'm driving the car. The alarm doesn't not recognize that I'm driving the car. and remain off when I disarm it. The manual says when disarming the alarm press & release the disarm button the siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash3 times, the central door lock will unlock, and the alarm system will be disarm. if the user does not open any door to enter the vehicle within 25 seconds then system rearms. So what can do since I dont have power door  locks.?

Program out the re-arm?
Never heard of this unit most of the "known" brands have this facility.
Have you connected the door triggers, i.e to what brings on your dome light?
When the wire marked "ignition 1" is connected to the ignition on your car it works both ways, that is it sends 12V+ to the ignition to enable starting the car, it should also "sense" 12V+ when engine is running normally and so disable the alarm part.
Where is this R/S made?

Door trigger = the pinswitch in the door jamb that tells the alarm that somebody opened the door. Door Lock = the wiring to lock and unlock if you had electric door locks.

Under the dash there should be some lights that light when you open the door. There should be one orange wire and one white wire on that light. White = door trigger.

yea a lot of older chevys have a light under the dash that comes on when you open the door. this is the easiest place to get a door trigger BUT if the fuse is blown then the light wont work and the alarm wont be able to tell that a door is open. i cant imagine someone installing an alarm and not hooking up the doorpin wire so my bet is that something is wrong with the doorpin circuit and the alarm cant recognize that a door has been opened and thus re arms itself after a few seconds.

usually though this is a programmable feature of the alarm and you can turn this feature on and off. if you have access to the installation manual then you should be able to turn it off.

Did I mention door locks?
Read what Mr. I said, also Soundnsecurity, both verifying what I said.

I have a 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo 350 carb engine and 350 automatic transmission. I have a trackpro alarm with remote start. I have installed the alarm and remote start. The alarm works fine but the remote start when I turn it on the starter turns the engine over but it doesn't crank. When I put the key in and turn the ignition switch to run position and I push the remote start the car cranks. Any info would be appreciated. 

Either ignition not properly connected or tach not learnt and programmed.

What are you using to prime the carb? Most remote start systems are not designed to work properly on a carb'd engine...

Sorry, I missed the bit that said CARB. Forget it, you need some kind of actuator, e.g. trunk release solenoid to "pull" the throttle linkage and release before you can start and run.
Contrary to the last post NO R/S caters for carbed cars.
You could try increasing the crank time.
