First thing I would do is put some ATF in all the cylinders and let it soak a while before turning it over. Also pull the valve cover and make sure all the valves are free and not stuck. Also, 12 volt conversions are not that difficult. Good luck, and keep us posted on your progress! Rich 1947 Loadmaster 1947 Chev. Loadmaster 1959 Chev. Viking 40 Life is short--eat dessert first!
