The oil is clean. The valve train looks brand new. The original owners son kept the car running but didn't drive it. The battery date is 2011. I am guessing the oil is probably about four years old. I turned the crank by hand and the engine moved easily. Then I turned it with the starter motor having disconnected the distributor wire to see correct oil pressure. Then I started it normally with fresh gas. I am going to change the oil and filter before I run it again.

The air conditioner works! That is good news because Texas temperature is above warm most of the year.
