Hi again,
Glad you came to your clear senses on the 91GL.
People do make them into westy's you know, a lot of work, but people do it.

On this 74.,......what ? is there one in the neighborhood or a relative is
trying to give it to you ?
That's a bad year for Bay Buses in my world. The 72 is the first year of the
type IV engine.  Two carbs, and a messy engine compartment, and no access
door above.
In 73 they put in a small opening above, it hardly helps.
Probably California ones are the really bad ones with EGR and I don't recall
that they have a air injection pump, but they're pretty bad.  In 75 they
went to fuel injection, huge improvement.    But sure, go for it. I wouldn't
take one if someone paid me to, a 74.
    Do this, get it, and park it just to look at.  Maybe make it into a
greenhouse and grow things in it.

Based on the responses so far, I guess tha I AM the lucky owner of a sweet
91GL that I originally thought that I was!
  I guess the nostalgia of an old bus was making me lean in another
direction.
  I think that I will take a member's suggestion and purchase the '74 for
fun and see what happens. Hope my neighbors don't mind a retro flashback
while in process. :-)
  Thnaks again, Michael in San ANtonio

Thanks, Michael Sullivan
