Ok thanks for all the help and sugestions . It's been awhile since I tried to start the car ( weather, time and all) so today I went to the storage place with my new primer pump ( black) some hose and a good attitude - hey it was sunny, first time in a week or so.

I got it started ,this time it ran longer before it died about 1 min
so Itried it again same thing I think hey maybe air ?

I repeted this about five times ( had to keep a jump going)

then I went to the head scratching mode while staring at my unyealding motor I noticed water leaking from the radiator-- HMM?

SO bieing the inqusitive sort I loosend the (COLD) radiator cap

WOW!!! Preseto I knew the ANSWER!!! well I did- as I watched Antifreeze spray 30 feet from the overflow tube.

OK who can say BAD HEAD GASKET!!

Oh well now I know the 4cyl is toast Time to put the 5cyl /5speed in.

Thanks All

Chuck
