Warren, Congrats on getting Billy Bones up and running again.

As for the muffler, I got my last one for my 88 GL from Ron Salmon at
the Bus Depot. Got a complete setup from him. O2 sensor, Catalytic
converter, muffler, tailpipe. Everything just bolted right together. Fit
right into the brackets on the vehicle.

regards,

John Rodgers
88 GL Driver
