Got it unloaded and in the barn. Will not shift in to reverse. Wiring looked like a drunk spaghetti cook got a hold of it. Rotor was not turning. Pulled distributor and found the pin sheared on shaft. Some one put a couple long screws in to hold points and condenser and that bent the inner plate. Compression test showed 0 ,55, 40 and 40. Pulled manifold and valve cover, one stuck valve. Got it soaked with penetrating oil. Soaking head bolts........ Heads coming off..... one brake doesn't work, quick check showed that the rod has rusted off.More up dates to come. We are gonna sit in the air conditioning for a while. I'm gonna leave it alone and not bother to tell him all the issues.
