Welcome George. You can get all the parts from a vendor like LMC. There are others too though. Check out this link of my website to see some of these vendors.

As far as the gas mileage problem, you may want to post that in the 73-87 Message Board forum for more response. The 700r4 will help with the gas mileage if you drive alot of highway miles. However, it could also be a carb issue. I wish I could get 12 mpg!
