First start after 35 years
Thanks so much. Some of my other challenges are space and tools. Dropping the tank in place will be difficult. I'll empty it there (mortar tub sounds like a great idea) and rig up a temporary can under the hood. Will look at the carb to see how sticky it is, plan on spraying it down and read up on how to gravity fill a Carter AVS.
Yes, the tires are gonzo. I'm adding a few pictures so you can see the car and confines of where I'm working (let alone 1500 miles from home and my tools); one picture includes a tire. I hope they hold enough air so we can roll it out to start (I expect plenty of blue smoke for a bit) and onto a flat bed so we can start working on it.
I found info online on how to prime the pump and per-circulate oil. After changing the oil, looks like all I need is to pull the distributor and use a hardened 5/16" hex rod with a drill.
Will also start doing some reading on dual point distributors...
