Another good thing about having the Delco inside the car is I got to smell that wonderful old aroma of the tool sheds back on the farm, where all the lubricants, parts and tools were kept. The engine still has the old oil in the crankcase, and it might have kerosene in the fuel tank. These can run on gas, or be started on gas and run on kerosene.
Once I use diesel to clean this up I'll probably loose that neat old smell. 
Here's a link to the Sandhills:

I don't know about over there but here, there used to be 2 types of Kero. Power and lighting. Only lighting is available these days and if you try running an engine on it, you will have to rebuild it very soon. It leaves a very abrasive residue when it burns which causes very rapid wear. I'd chaeck it out before using Kero, just in case.
