Congrats! How much of your drivetrain is original? (Not an insult, genuinely curious)

Also, what Tach are you running?

Engine is original to the bus from the factory. Its been rebuilt a few times of course. Transmission is not original and has been replaced a few times.

Tach is some Italian tach my dad installed probably 25 years ago. I took it apart and cleaned it all recently. It works perfect.

I have every single record of this bus since day 1 including original delivery docs, every gas fill up, etc.
