Working on a WS6 in Louisiana

Hi all, just quickly checking in and saying hi. I've picked up a WS6 that's been in the family and in a garage but essentially unrun for about the past 5 or 6 years. I've already identified a few 'must fix' things like the spongy and bulging radiator hoses (and ancient tires). I'm hoping to get away without having to chase mess through the entire fuel system but I will probably at least do a pump replacement when I have the cooling in better shape.

Any thoughts welcome, in the mean time, a quick shot of where we're starting on this. It's been decently protected, but rarely used.

Welcome to CamaroZ28.com ! ! !

Lookin' good. Definitely do the entire fuel system... new pump, new filter, injectors professionally cleaned. The ethanol laced fuel creates a mess. Beyond that, unless you have good service records, the basics - extracted from a detailed list I've posted on other sites:
- oil/filter change
- trans fluid (if auto)
- coolant
- brake fluid if never changed
- trans filter (auto only)
- air filter
- PCV valve
- check plugs and wires
- scan PCM for codes
- have battery checked
- inspect brake pads/rotors
- windshield wiper blades
- check for signs of wheel alignment problems
- vacuum lines

If you don't have a factory service manual, free download of the 1996 manual (97 should be 99% identical)
