Anywhere oil had settled, oil pan, casting indentations, etc., the oil had become coal like. I'm not sure if in my grandfather's old age he had used some kind of additive that caused this, but we are tending to it as best we can. Carburetor cleaner seems to do the trick, turning the substance back into an oil like consistency. Oil pan is clean and painted, and lifter galley cleaned out as well.
I'm not completely sure what all these casting numbers on the block mean, so if anyone has some insight I'm very interested in knowing more of this car's history.
Thank you,
