Seems I'm never without a project that needs to be finished. And then more pop up. It's happening again. We stumbled into a very small cash nugget and my half (Mrs. Kathy gets the other) may well go into freshening up a 1959 casting of a 1954 (no captain bars) 261 currently taking up shop space. The primary reason for getting the 261 up to speed isn't due to dissatisfaction with the 57k mile 216. No, it does everything we need it to do. Runs 60 mph just fine.

Air conditioning, that's where I suspect the 216 would fall short. So this thread will either have a mixed theme or will soon diverge with one path being a 261 thread, and a second for low budget AC.

Comments are welcome while the plan comes together.
