Charlie,
One of the best sources for odd parts like the 2 row pulley for your 218 is old combines. They usually are found cluttering up farmers junk piles and usually can be had for nearly nothing. The best part is that many of them had the larger Chrysler 251 and 265 engines. As far as electronic ignitions, Allison made a kit about 20 years ago that substituted a light emitting diode (LED) and detector for the old style points. I had one in a 1974 Honda Civic and it worked great. I don't know if Allison is in business anymore, though. I have several 1940 through 1957 Dodge trucks, some of which are parts vehicles, so may be able to get parts to you. What do you mean by 'valance' for the panel? I have rear fenders and doors (which also fit Power Wagons). Happy hunting. Russ.
