Last week I took my car out for the first time this year but didn't get a full run due to the fuel pump taking a dump. It was pb weather as well.

Any other suggestions will be welcome. I will replace all the fuel lines and the new fuel pump with about 15 passes will need help also. [img] [/img]

I would fill it with oil and it will all run down to the lifters, hit with a pre oiler and then light it off. 68 Barracuda Formula S 340
