My 1960's American Standard boiler has the original burner unit which sits on a V shaped steele hook (for the lack of a better word)..I have a like new Becket burner given to me by my dad that bolts on that came off an identical boiler that was converted from the hinge type like I have..The bottom rusted out in my dad's because of being in a dirt cellar which was also wet and had to be replaced but he kept and gave me the like new Becket burner...My boiler is in a dry cement daylight basement and still in very good condition...He hired out his conversion so he doesn't know what they did...At 70 he doesn't get around good...Any hoot...How does one go about doing that ??? Can I just drill the holes and bolt it on ?? I do most of the work on my boiler so I know the basics...My old burner unit still works good but it is getting very hard to get parts for so I need to do something before another Maine winter... Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...Thanks...A new boiler is out of the question at this time...No mon no fun...
