Projects Tips on starting a car that's sat 18 years

All good info. For a temp gas tank. Use an outboard boat motor tank and hose. On the fuel hose cut off the engine connector and hose clamp it to the carb fuel feed. Use the primer bulb in the outboard hose as a manual fuel pump. Works great for testing and you can just unplug the hose from the tank with no tools. I had a friend that ran an old POS Jeep for years on a 2 6gal outboard tanks.

 

It's a 260 Plymouth, I just filed the points and that's all it took, I just drove it around the block a few times this morning and she runs like a top. No smoking or anything

 

I've already cleaned and flushed the tank/replaced the fuel lines a few weeks ago so not too big of a deal

 

Hey congratulations. Hope you get her on the road and have some nice rides.

 

Thats awesome, glad you got it!
