Ok about 4 weeks ago I pulled the plugs and poured a generous amount of marvel mystery oil in each cylinder. today I tried to turn the crank with a socket and breaker bar ( with about a two foot pipe ) and didn't have much luck. I do believe the socket moved a little, I watched the stamped letters on the extender I had on it - it was a brand new socket and after removing did not appear to have been slipping, although I cannot guarantee.
Accoring to the previous owner the car has sat since 1973! How hard should it be to turn the crank, is it possible that it is not "locked up and just stuck from sitting?? should I give up now and call it locked up. Is there anything else I can do or should i go ahead start posting in the parts for sale section?????
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
