They have been dormant for over 20 years and am getting close to energizing
electrical system after re-build of most of car. They both worked well when
I put car in storage.Can these motors be lubed without being dis-assembled?
Any recommendations before putting power to these motors? Thanx- lib

No, not really. And at the price of restored ones, you would be very smart
to disassemble, check, and rebuild just to be sure they don't get torn up.

They really don't take long to do. It has been awhile since I have done
one, but it will take longer to get them out and on the bench than to take
apart, clean, and grease.
