Hey guys,
I have an old 1963 ford falcon 250 6 cyl.
I have had it stored for about three years and I have not ever started the engine.
can anyone suggest the steps or a checklist I should go through before starting her up again?

Hi there drain the oil & change the filter, pull the plugs and squirt engine oil down each bore, re fill oil & prime filter, crank engine with out plugs until oil pressure is up. Check points, leads, cap, rotor, change air & fuel filter. The carby may be full of corrosion so may be lift the top and inspect, or better still o/haul it. Change the coolant & thermostat and you should be set for a run.
