I agree with you spanky except I can't seem to find anything that addresses the big blocks. I have talked to a couple of vendors who specialize in old manual or more specifically manuals for stovebolts and they all tell me there is no manuals for them. That makes it pretty difficult to find parts for one thing. Watching the Big Bolts posts regularly I notice there is an ongoing problem with people tring to find parts and often disagreement on what part number is for what model. I've checked with many of the standart bolt part places for wheel cylinders and brakes and they all say, so far, they don't carry anything for the big boys.
