Where are all the stay original, nostalgic, keep the proven old ways, KISS, guys when I need them?
That was me but after 40 years of staying original I put a 235 in my old 216 truck and currently installing an AC (with pulley compressor). At a certain age comfort starts getting important! My truck was always a lousy "original" candidate anyway. Guess I just enjoyed banging my head against the wall.

AC will include switching to alternator also. Generator was always rock solid dependable though.
