Pull the valve covers and check for stuck valves.
Drain and replace oil.
Pull plugs and squirt in acetone brake fluid mix.
Pull distributor and intermediate shaft then Prime the oil system.

Thanks a million! Worked like a charm. I have the engine now turning free. Next step, change the oil.

Question: I've got the long....Allen type priming tool. However, I've never used it....still in the package. Basically you pull the distributor.....then there is a intermediate shaft??? Not familiar with that....???

Does that require a special tool? Difficult for a home based garage guy to figure out?

Once that's out, I'm assuming there is a Allen type hole to basically turn the oil pump.....is that right?

Should I use a drill to turn piece?
