Thanks for the advice George!

Ive thoroughly gone through the parts and this is a slightly later model with plastic bushings and doesnt show any signs of wear. Im not looking for power, but Id like her to be reasonably efficient. Something about that sm420, 5.43 gears and 36" tires, I dont expect to get good gas mileage and hotrod this thing all, over the place. I want her functional and reliable.

This is going in my 248 for now, but eventually itll be dropped in the 302 replacement when the 248 blows.

I found the new bushings for $5 at the local flaps. Is there a special set of weights and springs that I should be looking for, for this application? I can clean them up and toss you some numbers if it would help.

Thanks again for the advice, Jeff
