Once I got older I did neglect her a bit, I bought a new car and kinda let her sit for a while, then she all of the sudden wouldn’t crank over anymore. Me and my dad have tried to get her back up and running but unfortunately we don’t know much about the older vehicles. Sometimes it kicks up and runs but then it shuts off. My guess is that it’s the fuel pump, or maybe the lines for corrosion and won’t let her get gas.

Anyways, I’m getting her back up and running and I’ll be logging my work on here as I go but I will need some help from you guys if possible. She has a V7 305 and a 4 speed transmission. Here’s what she looked like in her prime.

Welcome to the forum! You'll find lots of helpful people here. I would start by thoroughly cleaning the entire fuel system from tank to carburetor. Old gas can turn into something almost resembling molasses. Ask me how I know!
