Hi all.

Nathan in exurban MSP, Minnesota. Nice barn find, '76 ninety-eight Regency. A close-enough copy of my virgin pizza-delivery car. Mice abatement efforts moderately successful, but well you know. Lots of vacuuming and Little Trees in the future. Engine unstuck, turns with starter motor; now what?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the site. The next step is to hook up a clean fuel supply, prime the oil pump, and fire it up to see how it runs. Decisions on next steps are based on that.

 

She runs. Oil change post-haste, probably tomorrow. Many thanks for advice thus far. Waiting to find out what are the demons of this car. QJ seems OK for the moment at least.

 

I usually get the engine and cooling sorted out first. Then move on to brakes, wheel bearings, steering, suspension, powertrain, electrical, then cosmetics.

 

Eric, you left out a big step. He needs to post pictures.

 

I did, didn't I... More importantly we need some pictures.
