Default Re: Priming a 351e v6 engine

I just looked at the dash and it does have a factory installed oil pressure gauge. So I may see if that shows any pressure. Now All I got to do is figure out how to HOT WIRE the truck. ( I guess that's under another thread subject maybe.) I mentioned earlier truck was given to me. It was my cousins and he has been sick last several years which is why the truck sat. It did run good before. He has only a few weeks or months left. He's is not in good enough health to locate key. So I will have to solve that problem. I seen ignitions on internet. And about the gas tank it's all rusted up. I started cleaning it up but may just get a new one. I built a special contraption with an old trailer axel mounted on 2 posts and attached the tank Like one would do at pig roast. I dumped 300 1/4" nuts inside and rotated it. When I opened the Gas Fill Inlet brown powder flowed out like water. So I have no choice other than to rig up an alternate quick mini tank with fresh gas.
Anyhow I will keep you all updated. Thanks.
