Oops, Bill, I didn't mean to understate it! Sorry... I was merely pointing
out that relatively good fit you mentioned. Plus I was patronizing, just
a little, anybody who's overly stuffy about engine nationality. I do this
once a year whether there's anyone there or not.   ;)

And here's a voice phone of an American company doing the same thing:

Kennedy Engineered Products, Palmdale, CA;  805-272-1147

No connection with Kennedy except being a hand-me-down customer, who has
found nothing wrong with their conversion kit despite looking at it real
hard.
