Good luck.

No easy answers, huh?? Really it just means I have to get it all torn down so I can start with some known values - I did rebuild it once already, but I looked up the paperwork today and it's not much help as most of the part numbers have changed since 1983 and my memory isn't that precise.
Thanks, I think I'll give up on the shortcuts................
