Dear Jerry: If there ever was an adapter to allow Pentax K-mount lenses to work on a Canon FD series cameras, it was one rare bird, and probably even more rare today! The Pentax K and Canon FD mounts were different enough that engineering an adaptor, to adapt whichever lens to whichever camera, might be like attaching an extension tube. Physically it might make the lens fit, but you'd end up with an optic that only worked for closeup (macro) photography, and would never focus sharply for scenery shots, pictures of people, and other more conventional uses. Since you now have a working(?) Canon AL-1 camera (with lens?), and some Pentax K-mount lenses, you have two options: buy a used Pentax camera body, or some used Canon FD mount lenses. Ebay is one source for either, and I suspect you'll find some bargains...
