My 67 Mustang has been up on jackstands in my garage far too long now. I need to catch the fever and get it running again. This Forum and attending the Knotts show should do the trick. Before I fire it up what should I do? I'm gonna change the oil, add coolant and find a battery. Its just a little ol 289 balanced and blueprinted with HP heads. I need to replace the clutch to drive it and the new parts are sitting on the passenger floor. fd

File the points, drain old gas, put in fresh gas... If you've got a Holley on the engine, a kit might be in order. Since 1974... Wow!

Hi, mine sat for 13 years and I pulled the plugs shot in some WD-40 let it sit awhile then cranked it without the coil wire or plugs till it showed oil pressure then set it up to run and fired it off still ran great after all that time. John

Because rebuilding that holly is a pain in the arse. I think that it has been setting for 8 or 9 years now. But the one big difference is that I never had the internet for help when I had her running, and there are many things that need fixing so stay tuned for more... thanks fd
