We deal with several different powder coating company's at work, Most of them offer a coating that looks almost just like chrome.
It requires a lot of buffing to keep up the shine though.
Cip 1 makes a new radio that fits in the stock location.
It has higher output then the old stereos and has USB and mp3 player plug ins.
It is a little pricey though.

Some new valves might just do the trick.
It is possible your cam is going flat. More then likely this is not the case.
Even new cam and lifters would be cheaper then a new Bus
I have run the Pertonix in my bus for some time.
Its nice not having to set the dwell an more.
If your point's are set correctly with a dwell of *50, Pertronix will not make your bus run any better.
Just wanted to stop in and say hi.
