I have no idea Ed. I put an hour meter in about 10 years ago and it was in the 700's when I changed it out. I think it was the original engine from 1976 and who knows what the hours were. Current...

I'd go SS and do it. The quality of black iron is not what it was. My first change lasted 6 years, the second 5 years and I'm into the 4th year on this current one. I am buying SS pipe and doing it...

By hand it should take a bit of force to move the shift lever forward, toward the engine. You should feel a bump and it goes into forward. It should require some force to do that. The reverse...

Yes, if your valves are all free now by all means reassemble everything and see what you have. The number 3 and 4 should not have been related. As Dave noted, check your firing order, take a second...

How do you know it didn't fire? If you had spark on all 4 cylinders the spark plug on all 4 "should" have fired. I'm not sure I get your meaning. Bad plugs and or wires could contribute to issues...
