Spring startup help?

bouf1128 · 03-24-2003, 09:10 PM

I'm about to take my 65 hardtop out of winter storage for the first time. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions prior to startup?

1. Back Flush the radiator
2. Change the oil and filter
3. After the oil change, prime the oil pump to get everything oil up good.
4. Charge up your battery
5. Do a good tune up overall, poss. spark plugs if needed
6. Wash your baby and enjoy the ride (maybe a little wax to)
