What I need to get the motor running... #7896 08/20/2004 5:03 AM

Kyle Member K Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 20 Texas	Okay guys... this is my first time to try to get one of these puppies running on my own. The motor is a 1948 216 with a Rochester carb. It last ran about 15 to 20 years ago. What steps do I need to take to get her going? I know I need to clean out the gas tank and lines and clean or get new points. I have also been told to replace the fuel pump and get a new kit for the carb. Anything else I need to do? Thanks
