Henry R32 # 3730. It was -20 F some mornings when I was in your area in those two winters. My car sat outside, no place to use an engine block heater. I never used the parking brake, it might freeze up on you. I just left the 3 speed stick in first gear, that kept it from rolling,
and I was on level ground anyway. Get in. push in the clutch and pump the throttle about 10 times.The car turned over like sick cow and finally caught, then shift to neutral, and slowly let the clutch out and the engine and tranny warmed up.After a few minutes, you could be on your way, but the rear axle grease was still stiff from sitting, so it was slow going for a few blocks up Broadway Ave. in Watervliet, NY.
