Default Re: Newbe with a couple of questions

Welcome to the club! If you have never driven one/worked on one before there will be a very steep learning curve. Here is my two cents worth:


1) Get a member roster from MAFCA/MARC

2) Drain all fluid and refill
3) hand crank the engine over before trying to fire her up.
4) If the tank has rusted or shellacked over, that will need to be fixed or the car will die repeatedly.
5) The oil probably has turned to sludge so the pan will need to be cleaned out
6) Check the tubes as they tend to blow occasionally
7) There is a guy on the barn who advertises transport of cars, may check him out.
