So it seems that at least Gary recommends a new gear pump vs. converting to electric? Fair enough.
I'm fairly certain the car wasn't parked due to any issues. The owner actually had 2 78 turbos, and had stored this one in hopes that it would greatly appreciate in value.
Going to see it again next week and at least see if it will crank over (sans fuel and spark) before going through all the trouble of cleaning everything and swapping fluids and tuning it up. The owner has already WD40'ed the cylinders and is going to get some Marvel in there too.
I'm getting fairly excited at the prospect of this project, but want to make sure it can be a solid runner. And it will ultimately come down to the price. I had picked up a 78 turbo years ago, only to get it home, find out the front end was all rotted, and then pull the head and find out the motor was shot as well :-( NOT looking for a repeat of that
Thanks again for all the input! Keep it coming
