    Tach wire and relay

    Electronic spark control will use the tach port. It usually will have a short piggyback empty plug you can use for the tach signal. If it does not, you can add the piggyback jumper.

    Running new taillight harness?

    There is a round plug like this next to the firewall under the brake master cylinder. Then another plug like it at the rear of the bed. There is no ground in that plug, the light assembly grounds to the body. Sometimes the rust between the body and the frame, the body looses it's ground. No...

    hei vacuum advance stop plate

    Kirk welcome to the forum. Your 1973 and some 1974 square body trucks are the only one's that had point distributors. All newer SB light duty trucks have a GM HEI.
