First post, '69 911t just obtained, some questions

Hello all! Just picked up my first Porsche. Let me start with the short story...

Previous owner stopped driving the car 7-8 years ago when it started "sputtering" on him. His local garage (non-Porsche shop) told him it "probably" needed a valve job so he just parked in his garage where it has sat since. He also had an 89 C2 and that is why he wasn't motivated to go any further with it at the time. He's now done with that phase in his life hence how I got the car.

Upon getting the car home, I realized he had pulled the spark plugs out who knows how long ago. The motor is seized but I hear that the t's pistons will commonly do so when not driven for long periods. I did some thread searching and have read that I could try putting marvel mystery oil in each cylinder. How much should I put in and how long should I let it sit before attempting to turn it over?

Car also has 40mm Webers on it, were they available on the t's or probably just an upgrade?

I'll have many more q's as time comes but this is where I'll start. Oh, in case you want to see what a $450 911T looks like...




Thanks in advance!
