[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3731423, member: 15054"] I can come to you sometime when it is warmer and get it started. Like you stated you do need to get a new tank and get it in there and run some new fuel line. That you can do and save some coin on labor for someone else to do it. I have lots of AFB and Edelbrock parts and have messed with those for 37 years. Pretty simple. The fuel in the oil pan will not hurt anything. It will just flush the old crud out of the pan. I have had engines get a failed fuel pump and fill the crankcase with gasoline and had it pouring out of the dipstick hole. Never hurt anything. But within a few days that stuff was removed and good oil put in. Use VR1 Valvoline in that old engine or Rotella T4. That flat tappet engine needs more ZDDP than your off the shelf walmart brand oil. I am working on it [USER=44288]@Snattlerake[/USER] [/QUOTE]
