Re: [Chevelle-list] It's ALIVE!!!
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.

Re: [Chevelle-list] It's ALIVE!!!
Congratulations, Ron. That's a great feeling Bob is exactly right about your oil and gas. If you can have it towed the 8 miles, I would do that and then drop the tank. I have found hair brushes, bolts and other stuff in the tanks I have removed. Know anybody with AAA Plus? They can have you towed up to 100 miles for free!! If that's not an option, at least add/mix some fresh gas to your tank. Good luck.

Re: [Chevelle-list] It's ALIVE!!!
Thanks Bob... I'm debating draining the tank...oil was changed right before he stored it, looks and smells fresh, but was going to dump it once I got it home anyway...it's very difficult to work on it at the storage place... it's only about an 8 mile trip home. If you think it's pertinent, I'll do it before I drive her home. What's the easiest way to drain the gas tank??

Re: [Chevelle-list] It's Alive!!!
Congrats Trooper. I had a similar feeling when I broke my 496 in. Now if I can just get it in the car and get that running. But there is no greater feeling. - Original Mikey Message - From: Trooper Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 9:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-list] It's Alive!!!

After 1.5 years I finally got to hear my 396 run tonight and it sounded so good I could have listened to that Big Block with open headers all night. After the 30 minute cam break-in I still wanted to hear more but I shut her down for tonight. There is nothing sweeter than hearing your baby come to life after hours of hard work.

With out Number TWO. there is no number ONE.. or if there is, Number TWO is not in the picture for Log Kent has a keeper there ( 9 year honey do list ). Sue's . that's got to be eligible for some kind of Award.. Wayne. - Congrats on two things Kent... 1. Getting your project to "running" status, and 2. Finding an understanding and patient woman! I found out a long time ago without number 2, it's much more difficult to get number 1! Again, congrats! Herb Lumpphttp://users.adelphia.net/~hlump/index.htm Hello Everyone - I know my husband is too humble to say anything, but after 9 VERY LONG YEARS of restoring his 68 Chevelle - he just fired it up and the paintings on our walls are shaking. I just wanted him to know how proud we are of him and his beautiful car - it is really awesome! Great job Kent! Love, Sue Your wife - remember me? The one with the 9 year "honey-do" list who has been waiting so patiently.
