I've been trying to get in touch with him today in fact as I need some work done. Avoid City Motors. Blaine's may be ok but tends to concentrate on high performance stuff.

I've never had an issue taking in my 235 parts and they always knew what I was talking about. The older guys in the front know these old engines. Yeah, they might do more business with newer and higher performance engines, but really how many of us still mess with these old inlines?
