    stuck piston rings

    If you can get it running, pull start? Put a quart of Berryman B12 in the oil run it for about an hour and change the oil. It will cure it or kill it. Used it many times with both results. Sometimes it works , sometimes you end up doing a rebuild. One way or the other it is clean inside.

    M880 carb issue

    If it hasn't been lost there is a tag on the top of the carb, this is the number to take to the parts house. I've run both the stock carb and a holley. Stock is less trouble in the long run

    Try a nice big pry bar, frames move and twist. Worked for a GM dealer and that was a tool that got used alot.

    AIRMASTER Brake Booster

    This is not anything new my 57 GMC uses the same type system except it has a manual park brake. Works good but I would not want to leave pressure on my wheel cylinders very long, and trust it to stay. Just my opinion.

    M880,318 to 360 swop

    Do you know that you have to use a 360 torque converter. I did this conversion over 25 years ago. That was the only big thing I ran into. 318 is balanced diferantly than 360, one is internal and one external but I forgot which one is which.

    Where to get heads worked over??

    Any automotive machine shop will be able to do what you need. The older the shop, and employies the better. This is 70 year old tech. Have then checked for cracks, loose valve guides and surfaced.

    LMC 190 T-stat ok?

    If the thermostat doesn't open it will get real hot. Check the heater core for flow. take off both hoses and use a gargen hose to flush the core, gently.

    How hot are you running... Poll

    Mine runs 160 to 180. When the outside temp is under 40 I run a winter front. It makes a big differance in the heater and the truck warms up faster.
