Slants are an amazing engine, as close to indestructible as possible. This story doesn't surprise me a bit.
Now, the block of wood behind the bumper mounted hitch, that's something else, that makes me feel real safe!

I found this over at Moparts. The clock shows 21k on it and the dude says it sat for 31 years. All he did was slap a elec. ignig in it, and judging by the film the gas as wel. Kinda understandable after 31 years. What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WqjSmgielg |

Entirely possible, but if it sat for 31 years then I suspect it will develop multiple oil leaks quickly and all the gaskets will fail soon after causing many vacuum leaks. He needs to tear the whole thing down and replace every gasket, hose, and seal on the motor, unfortunately, including fuel pump and carb. |
