Need help with putting car back on road after a year need info pls
My Car has been stitting for about 12 month with no tranny in it. It has a full tank of fuel and has not been started since the tranny came out. what do I have to do to get it ready for the road once I put the new tranny in? thanks for any info.
did you put anything in the fuel? If not you should have, but ya proly didnt know it would sit so long. Im sure it could run off that fuel, but maybe add some octane booster or something. Also mine has only been setting for 5 months, but I primed the oil pump just because. Just like you do with a new engine. Better be safe then sorry ya know. I would do something about the fuel, change oil maybe, also if you want to prime the oil system.

Yes I forgot to do something with the fuel I was going to get fuel sablelizers but forgot. I was going to get rid of it and put some new fuel in or do you think it will be fine with the octane boost? also how do you prime the oil system.
Well im not too sure on the octane boost I just heard someone doing it and it worked so. I would drain the fuel though if you could. To primer it you gotta have a special tool for your drill. You take out dist and this tool fits down onto your oil pump. When you spin the drill it turns the oil make and gets the pressure up. You can find this tool at summit.
