You know, in the winter, with the storage, and the not driving... what most people in Joisey do...

If anyone wants, I have a walk-through on "Prepping your car for Winter Storage". It has one GM A-Body specific reference, on Jacking points, but otherwise is universal to all cars. Just send me a PM with your e-mail address, and I'll send you the file.

No snow down here in Wellington I have to drive about 3 hours to reach some ground level snow which gets pretty bad and usually closes the roads down. So there will never be any winter storage for my Challenger, it was built to drive and thats exactly what she'll do.

So you get to drive it "year round"?? That would be COOOOL! I wish I could do that! And . . . . to be able to use the boat all year long would be spoiled! Love the WATER!

dontknow What about carbs? I agree and understand all the things to keep the cylinders in good shape and all, turning the engine over once in a while but the carbs will be just sitting for several months, any ideas? My engine is still on the engine cart and has only been dyno'd several months ago. Should they come off and emptied or filled or? Don't want these new carbs going bad before I get the chance to even use them!� gripe� banghead� grinyes

I would reccomend draining the bowls on the carbs plum. Maybe hititng the carb with some carb clean too. Im sure you wont have a problem. thumbs

Thats where the fogging oil helps!! Spray it right in the carb and into each cylinder for protection!
