Re: Diesel help needed to score a 'new' 327

Always have to prime any diesel if you open the fuel system or run it empty. Most have a manual pump by the filters just for this. Sometimes you have to crack open an injector line to get it primed.

If it has fuel in it----I'd do as stated above. Fresh battery, check the oil, and crank it. Might need some ether to get it going.

Diesel doesn't go bad sitting like gasoline will. It can sit for a very long time and still burn fine as long as it is clean.
