Ray a Guy once told me with some vasoline and perserverance you can screw an alley cat too
Easyist way to make those type changes to "e"s and "f's is to swap the steering like Josh does , then the world of berk boltons is cake
Not quite what I had in mind, Tom, but you guys know better than me. We'll see when I get into it. Right now it's the engine and a few other surprises, but I really wanted to keep the "condom" , as Skip called it, over the pump and the original steering I think CAN work. Much like it's old throttle linkages...............

Not the prettiest, but allowed the configuration I wanted on the T/R, worked like SNAP, and all plug readings were even...........

Great pics though if I have to revert my thinking on it! Thanks Bro! On way or anoher, it will be dne and WILL have much more roost
