Thank you for the allowing me to join.
I just picked up my first TriFive. 56 Bel Air, 265 three speed O/D. Odometer says 78k. Got if from a friend who lives a block from me. It was his dad's since 2011, but sat most of the time. Said he drove it once a year. Unknown what the previous history was.
So we went over to pick it up from his unheated shop, outside temp was 8, not sure what shop temp was. I cranked it over and it started then blew out a spark plug. I put the plug back in and got it to start. Would only go into 2nd and 3rd. I think the shift tube froze. I got it into first and drove it to my shop. I hope all that wasn't an omen.
Anyways, here is a few pictures and I will be asking questions, hopefully in the proper areas.
Thanks again,
Steve
