Thanks for so much information. I am impressed with the
speed of these
responses.

I have several suggestions on soaking the pistons b Marvel
Mystery oil, or atf, or a 50/50 mix of atf and acetone, or diesel fuel.
Decisions,
decisions.

This week I managed to free up the rusted right rear
brake.
I have ordered a pair of rear wheel cylinders from Classic Garage. I
know the
transmission is in neutral because the un-rusted wheel turns freely
(sorta). I
have 2 options b new brake shoes or have the old shoes relined.
The shoes have
lots of meat on them, but I think I would be safer with new
linings.
B
The radiator has green residue along the lower portion
(copper
color), and the water level was empty except for a small amount of
green stuff
(antifreeze mostly, I guess).
B
Since the old water pump will not turn, I
know I need a new
water pump b will the stock Ford pump fit?

A little
background on my Tiger MKII.
I bought it new. I was in the Air Force in Omaha,
Nebraska,
and stopped in to price a station wagon while in Denver for a rifle
competition. No station wagon, but I ordered a 289 Tiger. Picked it up a month
later. It accompanied me to San Jose for IBM schooling for a couple of months,
then back to Omaha for a couple more years. After that, we went to NJ where it
lived (and died) for many years. I retired 8 years ago to a small town near
Topeka, KS and dragged it with me on a trailer. It has been garaged since
1977.

Thanks,
Carl
