Thanks to all for their help and advice. I'm going to keep the Straight 8 after all. My goals once it gets a little warmer, say 40, is to run a compression check, clean out the gunk that might be in the oil pan as suggested and also rewire the car to 12 volt for more reliability. I don't want to spend all summer trying to find the 57 yoa 6v wire that went bad somewhere. But, all of that is on hold since the high today is likely to stay below 0!!!! Why did people choose to settle here versus someplace warm?????
There's a pretty good chance I'll be back on here with more questions sooner than later, thankfully everyone is so helpful!!
