Hey Scott,  long time fan here. I found a 1969 ford fairlane 500 4 door car 302 v8 that has been parked for 41 years.  Very little rust and was able to drive her home. Tank is good I have added new fuel filters plugs and wires . While changing the water pump on it I ended up taking off oil pan and doing the timing cover gasket and all. My question is what else do I need to do to since she has sat so long . The car was full of milk jugs and old sugar bags when I got it but was able to locate the original seats and things from the grandson of first owner . I got the car in a sheriff sale in Northern ga. I have been driving her for the last 3months with no issues except a high idle. Should I change the transmission fluid or the rear end dope? It has 67000 miles on it. Im not hot rodding it just using it as my family car. And would you recommend me switching over to disk brakes in the front or would it be ok to add a booster to the brakes? Also what fuel should I be using. I have been getting ethanol free and adding marvel mystery oil in it.

P.s sorry for my rambling im just very excited about my find im 33 so this is really the first car that im not just fixing it enough to get by. Usually I buy a cheap car on its last leg and scrap it. But I wanna keep this 1 one the road for many years.  

Thanks, your big time fan 

CL YOUNG.
