In addition to Streets suggestions, put some Stabil (sp?) in the gas and run enough to get it up into the carb. This will keep it from gumming up.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

A wad of steel whool keeps those darned meecers out of the exhaust. Irish Spring bar soap works just as good as moth balls and doesn't smell bad!! I love spring car shows up here in Minnesota!! just can't get enough of that moth-ball smell on a nice warm spring day!!!I love animals, they are delicous!!

It may be too cold in the winter to have airborne moisture, depending on where you store it, but if that's an issue go to Lowe's, Home Depot, whatever and get some Dri-Z-air. They're white pellets that go in a cage like device with a catch bucket under it, the whole thing is a bit bigger than an old oil can. As the pellets absorb the moisture they desolve and form a slightly gooey fluid in the catch bucket. Periodically take it out of the interior and pour off the liquid, and renew the pellets when necessary. Does a good job of preventing mold/mildew on the interior.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

What about the valve springs that remain compressed? Is one winter not a long enough period to effect them? Just curious.Justin RFFR

Yeah but what about the springs that remain compressed smaud a@#? Do they become fatigued from non use being left in the compressed state for that period of time? Or is it not an issue @ 7-8 months. Just answer the question Mr president did you fatigue the valve springs?Justin RFFR

The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
