Cool, thanks guys!
I've ordered a red book for him (do ppl really pay 60$ for one?) and have a few year one catalogs, I'd forgotten they had some good info in them.

He's mentioned 68-9 runners a few times so that's probably what he'll be on the hunt for. Good choice I'd think, plenty of parts and info on them.

Told him to spend up front and save himself some grief since he really isn't a mechanical guy.

I'll send him the links for your site Barry, and for here of course.

Thanks for the suggestions fellers.
