Take a couple short full tank to empty (250miles?) miles trips, clean the fuel strainers after each trip .
Don’t forget the lubricant level in the steering gear when checking the other lubricant levels
The reliability of the original model is that most problems can be fixed along sides the road.
A modern cars has different reliability, they go a long way but when they break they have to be towed—- too many “ modern” modifications and you have a model A that has to be towed and wait for parts

Excellent comments, very true!
