That's what I did on advice. I ran some stabilizer through it, shot the carb with fogging oil multiple times start/stop. Pulled the plugs and shot the cylinders, about 3 seconds each I believe per instructions.

B.W. mentioned keeping it dry. All the hoses are disconnected. Anything else recommended? Perhaps another shot of oil in the cylinders every 6 months or so?

Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
