20 years here and just coming back

Joined Stangnet december 2004. Don't currently have a mustang, just life does that to you sometimes. I'll inherit a mustang that's been in the family 50 years, just haven't cranked it in a while. Anybody have tips or a specific order of starting an old 302. The fuel tank does have a drain so I'll start there.

That's a start.
First gen mustang?
Make sure engine is not locked up, clean/replace fuel tank, blow out fuel lines, check float bowl for gunk and send it. Oh, and check oil.
You started a thread on it yet?

I'll add that you might want to be prepared to replace the fuel pump and/or any other dry rotted rubber pieces, and probably a new in-line fuel filter right before the carb to be on the safe side. I guess it all depends on how long it's sat without any attention.

Yeah, when you take possession, post pics of [everything].
