Garages around here are about $200/month. I had my 1968 Olds in
a  garage  for  5 years and I realized that I spent more on the
garage  than  the  total of everything I ever spent on the car,
including the cost of the car.


I  figure  I'm going to want to do this car over again in a few
years  anyway.  Saving  $2400/yr  for 4 or 5 years (1.5 already
served) will pay for a nice paint job the second time around.

Larry,
 
Thank you for the offer, I have always been impressed with the support we share on this list in helping each out.  However, in my case the delete is because the factory original clock is part of the center console that is in the car.  Ebay has a fuel gauge and clock delete set, but I just need the delete.

I'm in Brooklyn. I heard that this was a record for the most snow in one day
in NY City. Unfortunately they do salt the streets here when it's that
heavy. I combat that by trying not to drive anywhere until the streets are
clear or we've had some rain unless I really have to, and I always get the
snow off the car asap. Luckily we have good mass transit here.

Oil Change instructions for Women: 1) Pull up 
to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3000 miles since the last oil 
change. 2) Drink a cup of coffee. 3) 15 minutes later, write a 
check and leave with a properly maintained vehicle. 
 
Money spent: 
Oil Change $20.00 
Coffee $1.00 
Total $21.00

Oil Change instructions for Men: 1) Wait until 
Saturday, drive to auto parts store and buy a case of oil, filter, kitty 
litter, hand cleaner and a scented tree, write a check for $50.00. 
2) Stop by 7 - 11 and buy a case of beer, write a check for $20, 
drive home. 3) Open a beer and drink it. 4) Jack car up. Spend 
30 minutes looking for jack stands. 5) Find jack stands under kid's 
pedal car. 6) In frustration, open another beer and drink it. 7) 
Place drain pan under engine. 8) Look for 9/16 box end wrench. 
9) Give up and use crescent wrench. 10) Unscrew drain plug. 
11) Drop drain plug in pan of hot oil: splash hot oil on you in 
process. Cuss. 12) Crawl out from under car to wipe hot oil off of 
face and arms. Throw kitty litter on spilled oil. 13) Have another 
beer while watching oil drain. 14) Spend 30 minutes looking for oil 
filter wrench. 15) Give up; crawl under car and hammer a screwdriver 
through oil filter and twist off. 16) Crawl out from under car with 
dripping oil filter splashing oil everywhere from holes. Cleverly hide 
old oil filter among trash in trash can to avoid environmental 
penalties. Drink a beer. 17) Buddy shows up; finish case of beer 
with him. Decide to finish oil change tomorrow so you can go see his new 
garage door opener. 18) Sunday: Skip church because "I gotta finish 
the oil change." Drag pan full of old oil out from underneath car. 
Cleverly dump oil in hole in back yard instead of taking it back to 
Kragen to recycle. 19) Throw kitty litter on oil spilled during step 
18. 20) Beer? No, drank it all yesterday. 21) Walk to 7-11; buy 
beer. 22) Install new oil filter making sure to apply a thin coat of 
oil to gasket surface. 23) Dump first quart of fresh oil into 
engine. 24) Remember drain plug from step 11. 25) Hurry to find 
drain plug in drain pan. 26) Remember that the used oil is buried in 
a hole in the back yard, along with drain plug. 27) Drink beer. 
28) Shovel out hole and sift oily mud for drain plug. Re-shovel oily 
dirt into hole. Steal sand from kids sandbox to cleverly cover oily 
patch of ground and avoid environmental penalties. Wash drain plug in 
lawnmower gas. 29) Discover that first quart of fresh oil is now on 
the floor. Throw kitty litter on oil spill. 30) Drink beer. 31) 
Crawl under car getting kitty litter into eyes. Wipe eyes with oily rag 
used to clean drain plug. Slip with stupid crescent wrench tightening 
drain plug and bang knuckles on frame. 32) Bang head on floorboards 
in reaction to step 31. 33) Begin cussing fit. 34) Throw stupid 
crescent wrench. 35) Cuss for additional 10 minutes because wrench 
hit bowling trophy. 36) Beer. 37) Clean up hands and forehead 
and bandage as required t o stop blood flow. 38) Beer. 39) Beer. 
40) Dump in five fresh quarts of oil. 41) Beer. 42) Lower 
car from jack stands. 43) Accidentally crush remaining case of new 
motor oil. 44) Move car back to apply more kitty litter to fresh oil 
spilled during steps 23 - 43. 45) Beer. 46) Test drive car. 
47) Get pulled over: arrested for driving under the influence. 
48) Car gets impounded. 49) Call loving wife, make bail. 50) 
12 hours later, get car from impound yard.

If you don't want to drop the tank then syphon out all you can get then add 
some good premium gas and maybe some additives, I guess.  The rubber fuel line 
at the tank is subject to rot and leak in old cars so you may want to check it 
or just replace it.  I drove my 63 Nova for a couple years before I bought a 
new tank and I could not believe the crap in the old tank.  I guess the filter 
was doing a good job otherwise it would have stopped up the carb.  I live on a 
lake and every spring the lake is littered with boats that stop running after 
using last years fuel which usually includes lots of water from condensation.  
My $.02.
