Man, what can't I ever find these kind of deals? Well, as was stated, what year? That will help some of the gurus know what to replace. Shoot, these guys will have you up and running in no time. And you didn't state if it was currently running but I figured not since you said it did run before. What are the symptoms when trying to start it? Any little bit of info will help them diagnose your problem.

Did you replace all that stuff you misspelled in that long run on sentence (?), or are you just asking about them? What year car? It ran a month ago. How about now? Don't replace a thing that doesn't test or prove to be bad.

RACE ON!!!

Put more thought into your posts. Provide a lot more information than you currently are, then organize that information in coherent and decently proofread way and I'm sure you'll get a great answer.

As to what you should replace after 8 months of storage, make sure you get every single fluid in the car, and the tires which I think would be too dry-rotted by now to trust. Other than that, use proven diagnostic procedures to identify with certainty that any other parts are bad if you suspect a problem. I would especially get the battery tested; autozone and similar stores do it for free. Use the forum search feature for tips on this project.
