Don't! It's a damn old car! I'll find a solution to this. In the mean
time I'll proceed with the rest of the stuff. Got the head on today,
cold torque. Awaiting a couple more pushrods from Galvin's before I toss
the rockers on.

Yeah, I found a shop that will disintegrate them out. Pricey though, but
them's the breaks I guess. Old cars cost money! 

I still like this car and look forward to driving it. I'm knocking off
the sharp edges though. I assume the clutch is at end of life, but the
trans I have a spare for, the rear axle gears are OK (I looked), no
serious rust, ... unless (when... :-) the bottom end falls out of the
motor, I'll think about that aluminum 195.6 I always wanted to play
with...
