    Heater Hose Routing

    Correct 3/4 hose goes to water pump or radiator not both, if your radiator doesn’t have a hose port then the hose goes to the water pump. This is mine.

    Engine & transmission removal & reinstall general tips

    I always use a front head accessory bolt and a rear head accessory bolt on the opposite side with an adjustable load leveler attached to the engine hoist, I don’t trust aluminum intake bolts and always pull the radiator.

    Distributor will hit edelbrock 3764 intake

    Bucket has it right, you can move or set the distributor in any position you want as long as where you drop it in the rotor aligns with the designated #1 on the cap and the engine is on TDC

    The Best Carburetor?

    I’m going to stay out of which brand because any of them will work fine. In my opinion most people screw up by getting a carb which doesn’t match their engine setup.

I think the kit was $530. W/O any accessories, I got all new but shop Jegs and Summit for those. Have not...

    My 84 came with this setup, water pump is plugged off. Somebody told me it was the HD cooling option which makes sense as my truck came from Nevada. Hope this is helpful.
