I recently picked up a clean 68 spyder...red ...black top... it drove into the barn in 1996... the only cosmetic problem is a broken passenger tail light... top is good... interior is good... i just don't know what to do with this orphan???

ok to start drain any old gas out!!!
replace the fuel filter and oil and top off the coolant
do you have a heater core flush tee near the distibutor?fill it up back there last"but have the lever open for the heat INSIDE
do a check of the wires"to see if a mouse had lunch"on the ING.
remove the air filter looking for a nest

ok 2 gal of primium fuel
battery

first try turning it over by hand clockwise she should be fine
run the starter untill she fires,"you need to pump the pedal"
then stop and look at the carb for leaks
if it is thats ok let it set a few hours so the gaskets expand
after that run it till the fan runs TWICE aprox 15 min

get back to us if you need more help
