I was given a 63 Ford Econoline 5 Window pu, sat for some 14 years. I
did put oil in each cylinder and then I turned it over by hand checked
for spark (open and closed points manually) changed fuel and oil and
checked water. I then took the dist out a pumped up the oil pump with a
drill till the pressure light went out and put gas in the carb bowl vent
and it fired up. The problem began after getting it started brakes,
trans leak engine leaks, dirt gas tank, and 3 months of pressure
blowing(water and air together) out the radiator and engine to get rid of
rust. This is 2 years later and 45,0000 miles later and one head gasket
and one of the most dependable cars in our fleet. Ed ke6bnl
Hope someday to say the same thing for my 53 chevy 3100 and my 50
Fooooord F1. Both with lots to go. Ed ke6bnl
