Starting after winter.

My car sits untouched, in a hermetically sealed bag that is bone dry, from before Thanksgiving until after Easter (a good five months). When I pull it out, I crank it a couple of times, for five or so seconds, until the oil pressure gauge blips up. That fills the Holley up (mechanical fuel pump), I enable the ignition, pump the throttle twice, and she fires pretty much right up. I've done it this way for years.

I use a quart bottle like the ones you buy for rear end oil, they usually have the "cone" top on them that you snip the end off of....I take about 8 to 10 inches of small clear tubing,stick on the snipped off end and fill the carb bowls thru the vent tubes, little to no spillage.....
work the throttle linkage a time or two till you see the squirters shooting gas down the carb and then fire it up, should start right up.......
