Thank you Scott. I'll be sure to give them a call after the holiday.

Is there anyone out there who has a line on where I might find a source for 4 ea insert type bearing connecting rods for a 248 inline Buick? Anyone?

The washer push button/selector part of the switch actually does come off from the front. If it has not been messed with for some time it is probably frozen and will require a bit of finesse to get...

Many thanks alleycat for the great info. Must be dislexic or something 'cuz I was lost on finding anything on the 263 engine info. You've saved me some $$$ and frustration ( which I have more than...
