Help me get a classic home 140-160 1969

posted by  someone claiming to be Jordan G on  Thu May 29 08:44 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I awnsered an add for a free 145, a 69. It has a rebuilt B20 (40K miles) with Fuel injected head, dual SU carbs etc.
The amazing thing is it has almost 0 rust!

The car hasn't driven since 1997. I need to get this car up a hill to a trailor to get it home. So its gonna have to run.

What should I do to it before I attemp to start it?

Change the oil
Oil in carbs? ( i know nothing of carbs, i'm a fuel injected boy)
Should I do the wheel bearings? Should I change the brake pads?
Drain fuel in take and replace with new stuff? is there an easy way to drain the tank?

The car is parked in what was mud, and is now solid earth, so its sitting low in the ground....


If possible, it would be way easier to drive this car home. It was driving perfect when parked.

What should I do/check. I don't know much about these engines.

Thanks,

Jordan
