 I know this is mainly an engine forum, but I feel this query is somewhat related...

This will be my first Northeast Ohio winter storing my 55 Ford Country Sedan wagon. (272 engine) Other than Sta-Bil in the gas tank and a "float" charger what else can you recommend? I'm getting conflicting opinions from people. Just want to do it right.

By the way,in regards to my earlier post, it was a bent pushrod.Rocker arm retaining nut worked loose.
