I plan to do these things before attempting to start it again:

1.) Raise front of car until upper-right fitting on radiator is above expansion tank. Open fitting and pressurize exp. tank to force out water until no bubbles.

2.) Drain coolant (about 1 gallon) until only 1" is remaining in expansion tank when car is level.

3.) replace jets in front bowl of carb with larger ones to richen.

4.) get tachometer working (or use timing light w/tach) to insure 2,200 RPM

5.) use large shop fan to augment radiator fan

6.) check for proper timing advance (once started, obviously)


Does this sound about right?
