Lew- If your not getting gas to the carb you'll need to prime the vacuum

tank. These things have a tendency to dry up after they sit for a long

time. It would take allot of engine cranking to bring the fuel up to the

vacuum tank. And even then it would be stale gas. It's the cylinder

shaped device on the fire wall. Just disconnect the tubing and unscrew

the top. Gently lift out the inerworkings, and set them aside. Fill the

tank with fresh gas, If you have a mechanic friend, take him with you.

He will be able to test it for spark, fuel, points, etc. A small thing

like a bad condenser in the distributor will keep it from starting. It

looks like a nice car overall, well worth getting back on the road. Good

luck. Gene
