Well after dumping oil in the cylinder I managed to unseize it after a bit. Just bit by bit back n forth she slowly came free. Not sure if it has a decomp working cos jamming my finger in the plug hole it makes good compression. Presumably the oiled up cylinder will be helping the compression.

Will yank it apart tomorrow n see what's hiding. Can't find the plug lead so will see where it's snapped off or something

I carried the two catchers and the new to me catcher is noticeably thinner. I thought nah maybe the steel or a lump of grass . Nope the plastic is thinner. Almost half as thick. Interesting but yeah seems they started to beef em up more. Its definitely got more weight to it

It seems to have red paint on the victa in the catcher.

It has a red victa emblem on the chassis also. Is this original? Every VC mustang I find online has black

Guess the engine numbers will tell tomorrow but yeah how early is this 1?
