    1971 Tri-Sonic Riviera (any other ones out there)?

    texas has had some cold temperatures over the last 16 years. I would pressure test the water jacket to make sure the block and heads are not cracked. I would remove the manifold and do an acetone test. a lot of work to get that boat back up to snuff.

    pull the starter, completely disassemble it and clean it, then re-assemble it. you should be OK if you do that ASAP. if you sit more than a day or two, its going to be iffy. do the same with your alternator. the power steering pump wont care. just flush it and the entire oil system. you...
