If you didn't pep your fuel to store it you may want to drain the fuel tank.
And the ethanol thats in the gas now make it go bad that much faster.
Other wise that fuels gonna be just like varnish!!! Kurt

.....Thank You Stovens, Jerry & Vara 4, I don't have an oil primer but I will get one because it's an auto not a stick. It's a roller cam so no break in & I will make sure that the carbs are primed. I guess I just squirt fuel down the carbs to do this??? The timing should be right on now so when I take the distributor out to prime it I'll mark it's location with a pencil line. This should be ok, shouldn't it??? The fuel cell, fuel pump & fuel filter are new so there's no gas in it now. So I won't use the old gas that's in my old tank. I'll buy new fuel. Thanks again! Bill

ps, just got off of the phone with Jeg's. I've got a Mopar Performance Oil Pump Primer on the way, $14 including shipping & handling.
