Here is what I would do.
Put about a cup of ATF in each cylinder with the plugs out and let it sit overnight. Open up the distributor and clean the 4 lobed cam on the shaft that the points ride on. Make it shiny. Don’t move the distributor or loosen the screw on top of the shaft, hopefully the timing is still correct. File and clean the points and the next day when you turn the engine over with the hand crank stop it at one point when the rubbing block is on the peak of one of the lobes and set the gap at 0.020” with a feeler gage. After turning the engine over a few times by hand, drain the engine oil. Inspect how it looks. If it’s black but flows out your golden, if it’s milky and has allot of that goo in it you may have to go further into her. If it comes out in clumps then you need to pull the distributer (Note the orientation of the pointers direction) and the oil fill cap and pour diesel fuel into the engine to flush the lifter gallery and oil pan out. Once that is good, be sure it all drains out and before putting the distributor back in pour a quart of oil in that hole also. Put 4 ½ quarts into the pan, clean the plugs, grease the water pump (2 fittings and they may be different than the ones your used to seeing) If so let us know and we’ll go from there, and lube the Generator(should have 2 flip top oil caps). That should get you ready to try and add a battery and fuel to her. It should need a 6V battery with the positive to the frame (grounded) and I would avoid that tank right now. Find a way to feed her fuel from a known clean source. Oh and I almost forgot. While she is sitting overnight take the carb off and soak it in the diesel also, then take it apart and clean it. Hopefully soaking it will enable you to save the gasket. When that is all done, I or someone will pipe in on how to properly set your controls for a first time start. This is all that I can think of. Hopefully if I’ve missed something the guys will fill in the blanks. Good luck and keep us informed.
