Hello I live on the Central Coast in California. Bringing a "67" Polara 4Dr back to life. It has been in the Family since day one came from Georgia to California and in "69" CHP Polara (California Highway Patrol) came available , my Father installed the "69" running gear into the "67" well we all know why. :yaayy:Well my Brother passed the baton a month ago. I was so ready to hear the motor run again after not being around the vehicle for over 20 yrs, but its been in storage, I cut the fuel filter off and lubed the pistons with mystery oil and let it sit for a few days
bumped the starter a couple of times , it spun very freely . I could not resist pouring some fuel down the carb.
It was like finding that toy thats been lost for years.
So today I dropped the gas tank and YUP , RUST ,Varnish.
I have a running donor car that i picked up that i almost sold the other day .
My recommendation to all, Resist the urge to start up mopar that has been sitting for years . We all want to say that there is no rust in the gas tank and the fuel filter will catch what comes through.
I don't plan on tearing apart the 440HP at this time. going to change the fluids and filters and go from there
Thank you for reading and glad to be here
