Officially a 66 Suburban owner! Check it out.

Here it is. It has been sitting in one spot for about 17 years. I found out that the engine was either over heated or was getting hot on a regular basis and that is why it was parked. The drive shaft was removed and put in the back of the Sub. That scares me a bit thinking that something seized up or they were just extra precautious moving it into its resting place until repairs could be made. Up front most everything is there. I have noticed thus far that the generator is missing(I have an alternator as a replacement), battery and the distributor had cut up spark plug wires and of course the drive shaft it in the back?????? My question for you guys is where should I start to get this in running and driving condition. Is there a write up some where to resurrect a beast like this. My first thing is to remove the carb, intake and heads to check the condition of the cylinders and see if the engine is still decent to work with. One specific question I have is, what is the cable that is bolted to the passenger exhaust manifold and runs under the engine mount(I think thats what it is). Any and every suggestion is welcome. Thanks
