Default Replacing burner on 1960's American Standard Boiler..

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...
