Ha! The guy at the NAPA store fibbed. He didn't have the Kroil. I did manage to get the MMO Marvel Miracle Oil from him though. I took the spark plugs out, poured about a cup of MMO into each spark plug hole, put Betsy into high gear, and then my husband and I rocked the pick up back and forth. Heard sloshing somewhere. Not sure if it was in the motor or if it was old gas. Will try the crank in a few days and perhaps more rocking. I'm thinking about emptying the radiator, putting clean water through for a flush. Will want to put water back in, but need a coolant. What should I mix with the water? Antifreeze or alcohol? I sound like a kindergarten kid, but I have to start at the beginning. Thanks for your help.
