I replaced all the fuel lines, drained the tank, replaced plugs and oil, got a new battery and gave her a crank. With each rotation the engine turned easier until... with a couple blasts of flame from the carbs... it caught and ran!!! ..and it sounds great. I'm totally shocked.

I've got some issues to sort out before driving it, but the engine sounds spectacular. It needs to calipers rebuilt, new shift bushings and perhaps I'll have the alternator rebuilt.

Some of you asked about the color. It's Burgundy Red (30868), a special order color for '67. I've got a video of the car starting, as well as my shocked expression. I'll figure out how to post it soon.
