I left my drain plug in my 69 CC Baracuda SS and she filled up with rain water from 6 months ago. My carberator has water in it from all the condensation. The secondareys are filled with water also and everything is coroded and rusted. What should I do first take carb off pull sparkplugs drain oil. Help please.

First thing to do with any engine that has been subject to water getting inside is to drain all fluids and get it running and hot.

the boat should be taken out of your custody and put into a foster boat family and you would only be allowed supervised visits. all kidding aside, sorry to hear about this happing to your classic.

Im in California, and guess what I got the old 318 running again the carb still needs to be gone threw but I think she will be ok. I changed the oil and filter and put alittle oil down each spark pulg hole, after a couple of turns shes running wooohooo.
