When I worked on the alternator I wound a rubber hose that goes from the top of the power steering reservoir and converts in a plastic ( nylon) line that goes to the housing of the engine hour counter. The rubber ends were in a bad shape so it did not fit together and I will replace it but what...

Got mine on govdeals. Probably paid a little to much at $ 16000. It was relative close to me and they had a road legal title. I had it shipped for $ 750 and then taxes and fees to get it on the road. Looks pretty good inside and out, ( not great) . It sat for several years. After I figured out...
