My truck had been parked in a barn by the previous owner for many years. When I got it home, I did the MMO thing (down all 6 cylinders) turned it over by hand with the old plugs out, put the plugs back in, cleaned the points, poured some fresh gas down the carb, and she fired right up, and ran off the old gas!! It had been treated with Stabil, and I was mighty impressed!!
Love that old 6!! :)
