  • Kim; If your car is a super 8, it's not a 1926 as 8 cyl. were not made till 1930? I assume you have a 1926 super 6. The first thing you may want to do is put a shut -off at the bottom of the vacuum tank so you can stop the flow of gas when the car is stored. Putting a small amount of gas in the cylinders is a good idea, but only a small amount. You should check for spark at the points as they may have picked up some corrosion over the winter. Then try to start it as the owners manual describes. Good luck. carl
