i did the above pretty much for a v12 ferrari motor - cycled the motor by hand with plugs out , lube cylinders again - pumped oil thru the motor, flushed out gas tank, filters and carbs.....set the distributors in a dizzy machine - so we knew they were dialed in and all i needed was to get timing close......once all set - fired in 2 cycles!

If the car is that original, I'd focus on flushing the tank and the lines, not replacing parts.

Agree 100% leave the original parts on the car after the cleaning process.

What if the inside of the tank is a little crispy? How would you guys handle that? I'm kinda in the same situation.
