Update:

Today I received an email from the charitable organization--it appears they are going to accept this car as a donation. They plan to sell it and use the proceeds to fund their operations. I have offered to help with the sale. I will probably need to move this car in the next few days. The current owner reports that he was able to start the car, and that it ran long enough to move it out of the garage. After that, he was unable to start it again. From what little I have read on this forum, this sounds like a fuel distributer problem. I'm a pretty handy mechanic, but have little knowledge of this engine. Are there a few simple things I might try to get this car running? It sure would be easier if I could drive it to the sale location as opposed to flatbedding or towing......

Thanks,

J. M. van Swaay
