Does the engine run? Mine was also covered in oil and ran like crap but I rebuilt the carb, put in a new distributor (had a broken spring in it which was why it ran like crap), new belts, hoses, fluids, and a gallon of Simple Green soap. Not to mention a lot of little things. Now the engine runs good and smells pretty. I ain't trying to be sarcastic but the previous owner of my vehicle neglected it like a poor step child. All it needed was a little maintenance. It still ain't pretty, but it's clean.
