I had a 1970 Corvette, 454, 4 speed. It was my daily driver for years in North Dakota and Illinois. I got stuck so many times I lost count early on.
I was young and foolish then but never again.

I agree with blowing them out. Use one of those blower deals with the pipe attachment. You will be surprised how much stuff gets blown out.
