I was just planning on cleaning off the dirt, fixing any issues but maintain the original finish. I have already adjusted the valves, rebuilt the original carb, cleaned and lubricated the distributor, and installed a NOS Dist cap. The inside of the heads and valve covers were clean as a whistle. The original valve springs are weak after 46 years and will be replaced for insurance against valve float. Car has some neat options. Original owner was a woman in Ohio and I think she got tired of muscling the steering wheel without power steering. She may have also been going through a divorce from my records and sold it to a gentleman in 1970 who parked it in 1973 until found in 2009.

Very good idea to replace the valve springs, especially if you chose to hammer it a bit.

Best part of the paragraph..........&quot;valve float&quot;! Love hearing that. Pictures would be great.
Thanks in advance.
