Glad you replied! I thought Dr. Smith maybe knew something I didn't! "What? I'm not going to Alaska...Am I?"

Too far to back out now! And besides, I'd have a lot of explaining to do to all of the folks who I've told.

That reminds me. About 10 years ago I bought a 73 Century for $50. My son and I were going to put the 350 in our '54 F100 but dummy me it was a Buick 350, not a Chevy. So my son replaced some push rods and spark plugs, points and condenser, got it running pretty nice and sold it to a guy for $175 that was planning to take it cross country. Never heard form him so I've no idea how it turned out.
