[DML] 5470

["T. Madsen" <fishheadlouie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey folks, my name is Tony Madsen. I wanted to ask u all a question since u know alot about these cars. I recently picked up automatic #5470. It has sat for around 3 years or at least was not registered in that time.  it has trouble starting...takes sometimes 2-3 minutes of cranking...I think they let it run out of gas, who who knows what's in the carb/injectors/lines.  After it starts, it runs well so it has trouble initially getting fuel. I drove it 45 miles home, at various speeds and on the freeway.   it doesnt stall when idling, but goes up and down a bit probably because of any junk thats in the injectors, etc. what do u suggest?  i can put gas down the fuel hose to start it off the aircleaner, that works. a couple other issues with car, like non functing speedometer, fuel guage, radio, door lights (all 6), and one brake bulb on the drivers side bc card is bad.  lother wise, the cooling system has been updated (new hoses, etc), cooling fans do some one, has new spark
 plug wires and alternator. man died so I dont know what all has been done w/ car.  any help is appreciated. thank you, Tony, Im in SunValley/Burbank, CA
