Why has this turned into a critter forum? This guy wants to winterize his car for storage. Stick to the real stuff.
Battery "tender", Sta-Bil "360" marine in tank and drive the car for 10-15 miles, this will prevent the gasoline from separating and the rust from forming in the complete fuel system. Gumout just cleans a fuel system with no protection. Sea foam only cleans parts in the system, good for most cleaning jobs but no protection to the fuel system with todays gasoline. Marvel mystery oil is great for air tools, inside a crankcase and other places when needed. It does not prevent anything but is a great lubrication and cleaner. What does two stroke oil in the tank do? It would be a good TOP oil but I do not think our classics need that, we have good valve guides now days.
Antifreeze does nothin, they out lawed ethanol glycol a long time ago so your girl friend or wife could not put it in your food or drinks. Moth balls only stink up the place. Buy the way can you still buy moth balls? Good smelling soap, and bounce sheets just attract critters. Look at the photo. Ya they ate the soap but they also ate the box and will come back for seconds latter on. Buy the way they live near you car, maybe even in it. If ya think you could have critters put out a poison like de con.
Weight off suspension. Now pay attention, just the weight off, not the tires free hanging. Keep the weight off all them rubber bushings.
Dry starts are bad. Its like starting a new motor with no cam lube. Gravity pulls most of the oil down into the oil pan. Just hand crank it a little bit once in a while. Your valve springs will apricate you. Prime the oil pump in the spring time before you start it and/or any time during the winter.
Now this is for us guys and gals that live where it snows, blows and gets cold. Hopefully you are blessed with a heated garage.
