    I fired my old '51 Chevy 235 up the week after I got it ( hadn't run in 8 yrs ).. changed oil and condensor, checked plugs and wires. new battery.. spun it till the oil preassure came up, then put a little gas down the carb and hit the ignition.. purred like a kitten, even on the old gas, and runs even nicer on good gas. brakes held preassure so I even took it for a short spin that day
