Thanks for the info. I was looking at Atkins for a rebuild kit - the $249 one. I couldn't do an online credit card order (and I don't have PayPal), so I'll have to call to order. So maybe I'll order the video too. I'd really like to find one specific to 12A's, cause all I've seen are 13B videos. I will also check out Rob's videos for sure.

My understanding it that 12A housings and irons are unavailable. My plan at this point is to continue disassembling this first 12A (and storing in organized bins) until the engine stand is empty. Then I can pull the other 12A, mount it on the stand and disassemble it. Then, I can check for specs on all parts from both and use the better parts from the two. Do this sound like a plan?

Hey WE3RX7, I'm curious about your "mild streetport". Can you expand on this or point me toward a template?

Thanks again for all the input. I'll post more pics as progress is made.
