I just got it today and moved it (pulled) about 3 miles to a safe keeping place until I can get a trailer to move it on home. I couldn't read tag on drivers side firewall. Tag in glove box reads Engine # 98RTH 308915 Series F-6 Model 9R-TH. On rt. head is cast 8B9 forgot to look at left head. Engine not stuck, I barely turned it. Before turning a lot I,will but some oil in cylinders. Can I turn oil pump with screw driver or something down where distributor mounts to prime and pressure up the oil gallys? By body it is a 48, 49, or 50, What can someone tell me about it from numbers I have supplied.
