Lost contact

I have lost contact with someone who is about to stuff a 430 MEL in ,I
think was a 48-50. Do to computor failures I have lost contact with him,
and all I got to say is been there. About 35? years ago we did that to
a F8-H. I know nobody knows what an H model is, but the biggest problem
was to bracket the air compressor If he is out there, go for it. That
430 took 34,000lbs like a load of popcorn. And they are so easy to install,
except you got to swap manifolds to clear the steering box, and dump
from the front. Sounded big throat like a 534, a little tuff on gas but,
they really got it.
How many know what "H" stands for????
