I think you mean fuel distributor? There’s just getting it running and then there is doing the job properly. Replace the gas tank if it sat with fuel in it. Replace the fuel lines. Rebuild the fuel distributor. New fuel filter. New oil and oil filter. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor and adjust the valves. Do it once, do it right.

You know who gets top money? The guy who does it right. You know what cars sit? These ones that guys just getting running to sell it. That’s not repairing it. That’s just proof of life.
