Lets get it started

Last post I talked about the car getting off the truck and assessing the vehicle and finding out the steps of what to do with the car. After a day of cleaning, we decided to try and see if it would start. before this, my dad back in California took engine fog and sprayed it into all the cylinders. which helps lube everything up and will help the process of starting the car. He tried spraying some starting fluid which made the car turn on but does not stay idling without spraying starting fluid. So after we cleaned it up back home, we did the same thing with the starting fluid and realized as it wanted to start, the fuel lines started leaking. That night we ordered all brand new air vacuum hoses as well as fuel lines from Auto Atlanta. When they arrived, we attached the fuel lines and the air hoses following a diagram of the lines under the car as well as throughout the engine bay. After doing that as well as a new fuel filter, we started the car and it ran for the first time in 10 years.
