the engine was seized when i got it and got her moving with atf and penetrating oil. never tried diesel (don't own anything runs on diesel). it would definitely be worth a try

think today i will remove distributor and spin pump with drill like was suggested. also going to turn engine by hand with no distributor installed see if that makes a difference.

will keep any progress posted. thanks for all the info everyone.
