We just got a 1960 hardtop. Looks to be all stock/mostly.
Came w/all of the paper work including the ROT sheet.
We are the third owners. Has not been driven in 12 years.
I would like to start it up and see what works and what does not.
I drained the oil. The first pint was water from condensation I suppose. The water was clear, without coolant, so I feel there is not a bad seal or gasket. I thought I might refill the oil and change the filter out a couple of times. Drain the fuel tank and blow out the lines and replace the filter. Coolant is topped off.
I want to squirt some oil into the cylinders and hand turn the engine, so to see if it is locked up or not.
What suggestions and thoughts would the group make about the inital start-up that I am forgetting or do not know. I just dont want to screw something-up
