Had a look at Mel's van - Fresh oil & filter, new battery, checked rest of fluids, cut off old rotten mufflers & chucked in fresh gas. Fired up after about 30 sec of pressuring oil system & she fired up straight away! You've gotta love 350 Chevys! Hasn't run for 5 years... Now to plan cutting out all the tinworm & sticking in new steel!
