Ditto on the above. I just went through this a month or so ago with a 63 that had been setting for 15 years. I stuck the fuel hose in a gas can with fresh gas and had to sand the points to clean them up. After a while she fired up and ran like crap but it ran. Later I cleaned the carb and replaced the starter (it wouldn't disengage) and it ran decent enough to move forward and spend some money.
