[T3] New family member [Waking up an old square]

["Matthew Russell" <dynamico@earthlink.net>]

Hey everyone,

We picked up a 70 Squareback today for pretty cheap. It is pretty complete,
but it has been sitting (I think) since 92, based on the tabs. Our goal for
this car, over the next year, will be making it ready for the trip to the
invasion.

Because it has been sitting so long, I know that the fuel and brake systems
need to be gone through, and that will lead me into the engine. The guy I
bought it from said that he was told "it ran when it was parked." It has a
FI engine, is this normal, or stock for a 70 square?

This will be my first experience with an FI engine, so any advice or
recommendations, things to keep in mind, would be greatly appreciated. I
will certainly be calling on the list for help and keep you updated on my
progress.

Thanks,

Matthew
