Hey everyone. Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions,
Well I got the car home Sunday, ordered manuals last night (Monday), so now
I am trying to put together my to do list. I guess the first thing I am
going to try to do is see if the engine starts. Here are the steps I am
planning to take, am I forgetting anything?
* Drain, remove fuel tank and clean out properly.
* Disconnect fuel lines and blow old fuel out of line
* Clean and Oil Carbs
* Remove all four plugs and squirt small amount of oil into each cylinder
* Leave plugs out, by hand, turn over engine multiple times to move
around oil.
* Install new plug (correctly gapped) and coil, points, cap, rotor, and
wires.
* Put in a fresh battery.
* Clean and inspect all electrical connections in the ignition system
* Fill carb bowls with fresh fuel
* Drain oil, replace filter and refill with fresh oil.
* Cross fingers and start cranking.... check for fuel leaks at fuel
pump and lines. Verify oil level in crankcase not "growing".
* Hope it starts, run for a little while, (hopefully) shut down drain
and replace oil and filter again.
* Any other words of wisdom before I start on my project....
If the car passes these tests and I get it running, brakes and steering
will be next.
Also, I put some new pictures on the web site if you want to check those out.
Thanks
Patton
