I will be starting up the Pumpkin (70 , 1.7) It's been about 3 years since she was started.
Should I change oil first then start or start and run and then change oil when warm? Should I drip a little Marvel mystery oil in cylinders before start up ( yes I know she will smoke like hell)? I had extra injectors done by Mr. Injector, should I start up, change oil and then change injectors. Keeping fingers crossed it goes with no hick ups. lol Thanks Renee |

I would also vote for changing the oil and filter before start. And also crank the engine with the ignition or fuel disabled to circulate oil and build pressure before trying to fire it up. And speaking of fuel, try getting fuel pressure up and check for leaks before ignition.
