Got it free! I had the valve cover off and hit it with a spray of PB Blaster once or twice a day for a couple days. Went to start it this morning and it started right up. Very slight ticking and stumbling for a minute, one more puff of PB Blaster while the valve was moving did the trick. Nice and smooth now.

Wes - I haven't heard water, but I've heard of people putting ATF or similar down the carb for the same reason.
So now another question. I want to install auxiliary gauges under the dash for temperature and oil pressure. My question is how do I hook those up? Do I need to get rid of the factory pressure sensor and temperature sensor? Or can I piggyback off them? I don't trust the gauge in the car.....I can tap the glass and the gauge moves around. I have no idea what the actual temp is.
