Even if it looks the same, make sure the hose bolt threads are the same. That was the problem I had with a newer Tom's kit i ordered.

17" Procomps

75 Sport. Had the usual rust but for the most part was pretty solid. Took about a year to complete working nights and weekends.

Congratulations on getting her running. You will have a blast once its on the road.
