Hi, now that I got my '75 re5 to turn over, I'm now faced with the reality that there are probably many steps to take to bring it back to life? Obivously, I will change all fluids, test that the electric fan turns on. I've heard that its very important to check the oil pressure? Should I install a gage? Any tips or suggestions for safely preparing it for start is much appreciated.
