1982 trans am, how to get back up and running.

[jennasie]

i just bought this trans am from craigslist and it has been sitting for quite some time..

i need some suggestions on what to do to clean her out of all the gunk and build up she has taken on in the last few years.

she starts up however as soon as you try to hit the gas she stalls out. she squeals a bit. i think it just needs a good flushing, im fairly new to cars (i fixed up my last one a lot but it was a lot newer than this car) so any suggestions on what i should do would be great.

thanks!

drain the gas, oil, and any other fluids and refill with fresh. replace gas filter, replace air filter if dirty

new belts, hoses. probly wouldn't hurt to drop the gas tank out and manual clean the inside of it. don't forget the rear end gear juice.
