Re: [AMC-list] The 232/258 puzzle

Thanks Mark.  I answered first question so the rest is moot.  Found a web 
reference to the crank casting numbers and I have a 4722 crank so it's a 232 
after all.

The early, pre tall deck 232 rods are the correct rods
to mate up with a 258 Crank in a tall deck block.
I have a full set of 73 258 rods if you need them.
I was saving them for my stroker project, but doubt I
will ever build it.

I also still have a set in my 69 232 in the shed I can fall back to.

73 258 crank I have is #3214723
