    Got the 390 in the wife's 68 fired off and running after 27 years of sleep. Had a hard time idling and breathing until the exhaust unloaded 50 lbs of rat turds like an over loaded potato launcher. Scared the hell out of the dog.The old neighbor lady was pretty excited about the black smoke that consumed her front porch, she even told me I was # 1

    Yes on the new gas , ran vinegar through the tank and replaced the fuel lines. Yanked off the ac delco carb swapped on a temporary holley 650. Swept up the rat turds and used some fans to clear out smoke. Even took time to lat the old neighbor lady she too is #1

    Never heard of cleaning a fuel tank with a vinegar douche.
    That stuff, or whiskey and honey fix everything. In fact you might share a little whiskey and honey with the the lil ole neighbor lady.:clap:

    :rofl2: I bet your wife thinks your #1 also. Congrats on waking that baby up again.
    So does the vinegar drown the rats before you launch them out the back?:rofl:
    Perhaps I missed it somewhere but what is the wife's 68 in:confused:

    Wow.

    I could definitely enjoy that. I have a new exhaust on my Torino but I bet the exhaust on that wagon parts car I stripped a few years back was full of it. If it had the other head on the engine I might have tried to fire it.
