I have been in the process of very slowly reviving my 82 and wanted to make sure I haven't forgotten anything before I go and try to start it for the first time. Here is what I have done:

Removed all emmisions related components, Nikki carb, stock exhaust and intake, stock shocks, struts and springs, stock fuel pump, old brakes and rotors, maybe some more...I forget

Installed: Racing beat exhaust, weber 45 DCOE, lake city intake, holly red fuel pump, holly 1-4 FPR; set at 2.5 PSI, yoohoo belt, new brake rotors, hawk pads, racing beat springs, tokico blues shocks and struts, pluged both vacuum advance holes on dizzy.

I think that is the list. I haven't figured out how or where to get a new throttle cable but I want to fire the beast up to see if she will go!

Have I forgotten to do anything???

Thanks

Got gas in the tank, oil and coolant in the engine? I wouldn't cap the vac advance tubes on the distributor. Just leave them open if you aren't going to use vac advance. Everything else sounds good. How long was the car sitting?

OK so I don't cap the vac advance, got it.

Car has been sitting for like 16 months with a full gas tank with both stabil and seafoam in the tank. I didn't want the tank to rust. I wasn't planning on emptying it. Has fresh oil and as far as I know the coolant is full. I haven't been able to bleed it properly as I haven't had the engine running.

I have heard about venting the crank case but don't know much about it. Anything there I need to do?

Well I read up on the crankcase venting and it seems like all I have to do is keep the base of the oil filler neck hooked up to the charcoal canister like it already is and hook the top up to the brake booster for vacuum through an inline PCV valve. This will prevent any "lung mustard."

Still interested in other thoughts before I go ahead and try to start the old girl.
