Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. Found this forum thanks to some guys over on VMF. I recently purchased my first mustang. A 68 289 AT. Haven't been able to fire it up yet but I soon I hope. Attached are pictures from the listing when I found her. My eldest daughter has named her "Penny."

If the engine hasn't been started in a long time then pull the distributor and pre oil the engine. Here's a good article on how to go about starting an engine that has been sitting for a long time:

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

She hasn't been driven since 2019. I have pulled the carb, fuel line from carb to fender apron, fuel pump, plugs, and have tossed in some MMO. I will pull the distributor clean it up and prime that pump. Thanks Mr.Roy
