By the look of the thermostat it probably hasnt run in over a decade until I got it. This thing is crusty.
I can't see evidence of it being on gas, I'd say its just been plunked in there, beers were had, things were smoked and then the project got abandoned right around the time Port Arthur was happening.
Lots of cleaning ahead for sure. The timing set that came out was actually pretty tight, the picture doesn't do it justice. In all honestly I'm tempted to clean it up and see if it can be reused, or at least kept as a spare.
In the meantime, the block is out of the truck. Hazzah!
