Thanks. The PO said it was left out in the rain for a couple hours after I called him and asked what was up... seemed like a lot of water for a few hours. The car came w/ a couple engines. Neither working... one rebuilt sometime ago and never run (had the water in it), the other seized and in the car.

I was just looking at the idle air control valve (didn't know what it was until i read your post)... I'll definitely plate that up... PO had it fuel injected and then changed back to a carb... so I've got a lot of randoms that I don't really understand.

The rust bubbles didn't look so bad before I wheeled them. In hind sight I probably should have left them be until I was ready to tackle them... the wire wheel possessed my common sense for a bit.
