Hopefully you/your Dad are bringing the A back carefully after the long nap. Most likely you know Oil, gas, lube, mechanical, gaskets, etc., need attention after sitting that long. As stated above best not to run it much till you do some preventative maintenance.
Lots of good info/advice on the Barn, and it is all free.
Good luck, and keep letting us know your progress.

“Pap” is actually my grandfather. I sent the video of it running to my mom who showed it to him. She said he was really excited to hear it running! I’ll be up to see him at the end of the week. [emoji846]
The first thing it got was fresh oil, gas and coolant. Then it got all ignition parts replaced and I rebuilt the carburetor yesterday. Now that it starts, it’ll get another oil change after running for a minute or two and liquifying the rest of the sludge.
Radiator, hoses and head gasket are next. I could probably torque the head down for a quick fix as said above, but after sitting this long, if it’s questionable I’m replacing it.
