Well, I think I should have put this under, "it ran when I parked it". This should probably go under a new topic heading. It still is not starting, but there are new problems now, whith the old ones seemingly fixed (won't know for sure until the darn thing starts). Moisture is in the cylinders and the plugs are getting wet. The only thing we haven't corrected is changing the gasoline tainted oil. The gas tank was cleaned and dried well. Maybe bad gas? maybe condensation? maybe bad head gasket after all these years of not running? I'm just the apprentice wrench fetcher. But with the mechanic I'm working with and you guys, I'm learning a lot, thanks. A few minor adjustments were made on the carb and everything was moved to a running '54 1/2 ton with a '54 engine, the only thing needing to be changed was the dwell and it con't to run fine, so back to the 1 ton with a'57 engine, now the moisture problem and the beast is still not starting.
