Forecast is for 60's-70's this weekend and ten days looking forward. So I will be starting the 64 Dynamic Saturday. I always cringe when I start her up.... all those dry pistons!!!!! Is there anything I should do or know that could ease her pain: like pouring some Marvel into the carb or a bottle in the oil filler tube. Just don't want to hurt the ole gal...she has less than 100K miles on her.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

Pull the coil wire, and crank it 'til the oil light goes out - -
Had a friend who had a switch for that - did it at every start!

The ole gal started on the third try. A small coolant fluid leak but stopped after the engine ran for 10 minutes. Wiil put it on a lift and give the bolts a small tighten later this week.
Tried you suggestion....THANKS

Great! Did you go for a ride? It has gotten cold here again and the rain followed...

Yes I did. The roads were dry and very little sand and debris on the road due to an easy winter.I am amazed at how well a 50 yr old engine comes to life! I put @ 20 miles of local driving on it with 5 miles of interstate miles. In the end any seals that were leaking were dry by the end of the day. Now for the spring projects....replace real window seal and do a carb rebuild...can't wait to feel the POWER. Thanks for the interest.
