Block her up, drain radiator and windshield res., pull battery, cover and sit sadly in the window waiting for spring.
Come spring, I change the oil... just to be sure that there's some in the top end of the engine before firing her up. Replace the other fluids and grease everything, Fire her up for about 30 minutes and run through the gears before putting her back on the ground. Just to get everything loosened up.
I made the mistake the first winter of starting up in the cold..... Weakened the battery, and because of the aluminum intake and heads, the top end gaskets all needed to be replaced.

I found one made by Dorman that works well (350 cid)
But you have to be specific when you buy one, or you could wind up with the warning light sender.

Actually, it appears later in the movie with an over sized '69 Z28 induction hood.

Saw this "Beast" in a newer movie titled "Mob Land".
Not that good, but had a lot of classics in it.

The "brup, brup, brup" while sitting at the lights is always a good conversation starter too...

If I'm understanding your new jack right, it's powered and uses a cigarette lighter type plug in end.
I have a similar powered air compressor, and instead of using the outlet in the car, I found an adapter (made by Dorman) that has the female socket at one end and battery clips at the other. That way you can draw power directly from the battery without straining the rest of the electrical system. The good one comes with a built in 20 amp fuse/holder.

That's another good point..... Big Brother can't track older cars unless you let him.

Not just the acceleration, but the weight of these things scare me. Speed + weight = bad things in an accident.
Landlocked "nuclear wessles" with no real control system...... At least Chicago's safe this week.

What scares me about these electric cars is the acceleration..... Just the thing you want to give a 16 year old with a new licence.

I used 2 short rachet straps hooked to the frame to lower and re install my th350..... Bit of a balancing act, but it got the job done.

Sure !!!!
I don't think I could spend all that money by myself...... I'd try, but it would be pretty hard to do.
