Hey guys, I have this '49 3/4 I'm trying to get running. The truck has been in my wifes family since almost new, I got the truck about a year ago after it was sitting for about 10 years. I think my grandfather in law (now passed away) had done an engine swap out of a GMC pickup of around the same year. I don't know if it's a 216 or 235 or other. Not sure if it has the right carb on it or not or if it matters. One of many things I can't figure out is where this little rod (about 5 inches long with a bend on the end) that is near the carb but between the header and head is supposed to connect to? I don't know if its supposed to go to the carb or what. The engine seems to be seized, I tried to spray some penetrating oil in the spark plug holes but that didn't seem to loosen it up. I had taken the valve cover off and I didn't see much rust at all. I buddy of mine said an idea is to fill up the engine with deisel and let it sit for a month or so and see if that loosens it up. What do ya think? Any tips and advice is really appreciated! Thanks for the help guys!
