STATUS : 74' satellite, 1k miles on a rebuilt 318 w/ 727. 5 gal's of gas in the tank with whole bottle of fuel stabilizer. with car running, fuel stabilizer was sprayed into the carb until the engine stalled. It has been dry and on blocks for 14 years. It ran great but trans dumped fluid. I'm rebuilding the trans now.
I'm about to fire it up: Aside from basic contact cleaning, plugs,dist., etc.
Should I pull the gas tank, or just syphon out old fuel? Just fill it up? Is the carb guaranteed to be gummed up by now?
Is there any "must do" things to insure a successful start up? Any tips would be appreciated!
Also, any tips on removing and installing the front seal on the 727 trans? I dont have a seal tool. Do I just dig the old one out? Is it like a bushing? Thanks guys!
