Jim,
Bus is still 6V and originally came with a 1500 SP - cool deal as it also got the bigger brakes like a 64. It all worked just fine when I was driving it (Texas winters are usually pretty tame). Will have to go out and check the end play later tonight or tomorrow. I have been told that I may have a cracked block but I'm not so sure. Will let you know what I find.
