Well, got a little done today, and good news came of it! (BTW, how do you like my flathead engine stand?)
Pulled the plugs, shot 'er full of Marvel Mystery Oil, and put the breaker bar on the crank to discover that she turns over nice and easy! From what I could see of the valves, they just looked black, thankfully not brown and rusty.
Then, I went to bolt on the distributor and promptly tightened it down crooked and cracked the distributor base. D'oh!
Tomorrow, I hope to get an engine test stand, and the hardware and supplies I need to start this baby! (We'll see).
