Murray Jet Fire 26" Boys Bike

[OLDTIMER]

I just stepped out of my Schwinn comfort-zone and purchased a 26" Murray Jet Fire. I purchased the bike yesterday and expect it to arrive later this week. Bought soley on appearance, I am uncertain, but I believe this to be a mid 60s bike.
I would like to know if anyone can suggest resources for specs and information, spare parts sources, information within the forum and/or any other forums.
Thanks for any help.

OT...here is a 1966 catalog picture of the Jet Fire.

Possibly the searspartsdirect lookup might help breakdown the bike for you. Enter the full serial number in the field and hopefully it will be there. Provided it was a Sears retailed bike (prefix "502")

I can't remember where I saw it, but doing research I came across a Murray Missile from the 60's that had a tank that looked like the one you described. It was in a Murray catalog.
