Oh, did I mention, change the fuel filter. Then check and snug down all the HEI connections. Also, does the HEI have a clean 12v connection? If you connected the HEI via a resistance wire or the wiring you are using is weak or not well connected, fix that right away.

What's more likely to go bad while sitting, the fuel filter, the ignition wire, or the gas? Today's gas aint what it was 20 years ago, the ethanol will draw water right out the air.
