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

What is your fuel source? Natural Gas? Propane? Electric?
Oil? Veggie Oil? Fire wood? Pellets? Compost?

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...
