Although I was pleasantly surprised on not finding any junk in the engine I was not prepared for what I would discover under the intake manifold... Rube Goldberg gone wild.

What's inside?
Time to take the manifold off and see what, if anything, had made its way into the intake. Using a Snap-on video borescope I was able to determine nothing was on top of the valves. Looking through the spark plug holes I was also pleasantly surprised to discover no foreign objects in the cylinders either. I added a generous quantity of Marvel Mystery oil to each cylinder in preparation for turning the engine over soon.

We pick up Remy
We picked up Remy today. The condition of the car left a lot to be desired, but the body appeared to be rust-free and had no signs of any major damage or repair.
Once the car was safely in our back yard, I began to assess the situation in the engine compartment. The hood was not closed but rather 'placed' on the car for all those years. The engine sat with no carb installed... I could only imagine what had gotten into the engine.
