hey guys. i got a couple of questions for yall old timers. here goes:
1. i am looking at buying around $500 in parts from the company Chevy Duty. does anyone have likes/dislikes or any helpful info or oppinions on them before i make this big purchase? or recomendations for other companies?
2. shifting my 3 on-the-tree feels like stiring a vat of cooled molasis. is that a bad sign?
3. i need to ID the engine in my truck. all i know is, that it's the 3rd engine in it, and its a later model than the truck('63). there are numbers on the manifold, and 2 places on the block on the left, if you are looking at hte engine). i dont know what to look for with which numbers.

help from yall would be great, on any of these. thanks.
