Yup, check out the Bus Grease Monkey page. You'll love it. Guy has oodles of content working on 4104's [next to his own bus the 4104's get the most attention over the years. Very detailed "How To" fix stuff. Anything parts wise regarding Brakes, motor parts, suspension, Clutch, Transmission... Luke at U.S. Coach is a contact well worth jotting down for ordering parts for the old Detroit motors as well as aforementioned parts. Looking forward to watching your series on this great silversides GM :-) Love this era of the GM's. :-))

Those buses had what was called a pony engine located in the Bay Area behind the driver’s side front tire. The pony engine was usually gasoline powered and that’s what the choke and ignition knobs are beside driver. The pony engine run the air conditioning and may have provided other power as well. Check out The Bus Grease Monkey channel, he’s the coach expert located in Tennessee where you can book a service appointment.

I thought Pony engines were helped to start a diesel engines...thus the pony...would help start the horses lolz... but in the manual that's for the generator it had an onboard generator that ran A/C

Oh also in one of these videos not sure if it's this one there's a gasoline tank that runs from right behind the passenger side wheel has a little flappy I think I opened it that's for the AC generator
