They also used this car to tow their 63 Fury to track. Florida tag is mine to legitimize using my tow subscription. Came in handy today since dually is in FL. 7483826-Rearb4Tow.jpg (331 downloads)

Drained today and added new oil and flush. Also let cylinders soak in Marvels over night with plugs out. Bad coil and condenser changed. Changed Plugs, too-had AC XLS-44 from store closeout. Turkey baster always handy after Thanksgiving. Primed carb, but no pump shot. Down the hatch and fired up with a twist of distributor it was singing and pumped up lifters. Ran for about 10 mins w 40psi @ 2000 rpm. We be pressure washing the crud now. Rust and sludge are flying! Will change oil and filter again.

Hey Chris you can always try the Rick Hunter method of engine clean out...start it up, bring the rpms up and turn the garden hose down the carb.... That'll make her nice and clean.

Pretty Cool. Also Every DC registration clipped together. On a Bad Note, I spoke to the owner son today about the original engine and trans. He said he had a DC trash hsuling company remove 3 340's and some 440's and a bunch of Trans'. I suspect the original engine was with that cache. Bummer. Guy was busy getting house ready and stuff cleaned out. May change my approach a little if I want to color change.
