Default My '78 King Cobra

It has a 5.0L 302ci. Black w/orange.

It has been in a garage for like 10 years. I wanted to know what all needs to be replaced or rebuilt. The carb and tires are the only thing I know that has to be replaced.

It is my first car and I paid $500 for it. It has no rust and the paint is halfway decent.

better drain gas and clean tank and flush lines and change oil and coolant and then see if it'll fire up
