Hi I just picked up a 1970 Sport Satellite today, very excited to say the least. Its a 318CI (wish it was the 383) but its a solid AZ car. I know what I need to do tot he body but its been sitting for a while maybe two years. It only has 14,*** original miles and I purchased it from the original owner. I want to bring the engine up right after sitting for a while and would like to get some advise on what I need to do before I try to fire her up. Here is my list. Let me know if I am missing something.
Electrical
New plugs (recommendations of type?)
Wire set
Points cap and rotor
Cooling
Inspect and replace hoses as needed
Top off
Oil Change and filter
Fuel
Inspect and replace fuel lines as needed
Add inline fuel filter just before carburetor
Drain old fuel and fill with fresh
Brakes
Check vacuum line
Drain and replace brake fluid (type?)
Oh and I need wheels and tires. What are the best sizes for front and rear? Thinking of either Cragars if I can afford them or aluminum slotted......
Thanks! I will try and post some pics soon.....this might become an interesting thread....
