Yup, I figgure if I can get it to run long enough to drive by the PO's house, it'll be worth it.

I figgure some "smoke no-mo" and some slick-50 and she'll run for another 50K miles, right?

.
Heck, don't you guys ever try to get an engine to run just cuz others say it can't be done? At least then I can tell if the tranny is any good, and maybe turn the car around in the yard.
How long can gas sit in a tank before it won't burn?
