Wow, thanks so much for the information. I thought it had a 391 in it (owner told me it was a 390) so either it had a transplant or it is indeed a 361. I'll have to figure out how to tell the difference.
With the help of the forums I found a great place to get a full set of manuals on CD.
Thanks again,
Mike
