I have only owned the Chevy van for about 6 weeks.  It was really cheap as 
it's previous owner caught himself on fire while priming the carb!  The 64 
came with the 230 6 cyl, but I think they used the 250 in later models.  
Haven't had time to do much to this one but rebuild the carb and get it 
running.  Someone put "camper trailer" style aluminum windows in this one and 
put some cabinets in the back.  It will probably just be used to get me to 
fishing holes.

I bought the MB about 8 years ago from a MB mechanic who really gave me a 
ong
& dance about how he would help me fix it up...then he disappeared, which is 
probably better as his mechanical abilities might not have been as good as 
his acting abilities.
