ECU reflashed by Speartech, same for original engine harness, reworked by Speartech. All fluids have been drained for a couple years now while I finished the restoration. Please walk me through a detailed process to make this fire up successfull.
Also what kind of fluid to use for my hydraulic clutch.
Thank You very much, pretty excited and do not want to make a preventable mistake.

Tim,
I always use DOT3 in clutch hydraulics.
For start up, ideally you want to prime the engine. There are a bunch of videos on youtube on how to do that. That said, when I did the GTO, I unhooked the coils and took the oil filter off. Cranked the engine until oil started dripping from the oil filter ports. Put everything back together and fired it up...
On my Cougar, I just turned the key...LOL
As they say, YMMV...
