thanks everyone for your input. The car starts now, but idles very rough and hesitates when starting to accelerate till about 10 or 15 mph. That's the bad news, but I've discovered a problem with Cruise Control System I thin may be related. while the car was idleing, I discovered a disconnected vacu...

I flushed out the radiator(flow seemed good). Still not working. No circulation. I'm stumped. I stil...

There is a un-painted metal box, about the size of a pack of cigarettes,

Thanks for your help

Thanks for the information.
