Starter fluid works well, BUT use it sparingly it will wash the cylinders and cause cyl. scoring. We alway shot it THROUGH the filter. not directly into the carb. One thing I forgot-Fuel filter- A lot of times a car sitting will collect rust scale in the tank and it will often come through the lines to the filter on a later start up,but the car will often fire up then die as the filter plugs up.
I used to run a car starting bussiness in the winters here (MN) as a side line.
Race and performance cars can be a very finicky at times but I am glad you are keeping yor dads passion alive. Don't give up. I have a soft spot for these "J's". I had one the early 80's.Last edited by Dgas56; 07-13-2009 at 05:17 AM. Reason: spelling
Attended my first drag race in 1961 and hooked on cars ever since.
