    Bulb and ignition switch questions

    How is everyone doing, the temperature here is finally below 100 so we can get some real work done. Vehicle is a 73 GMC C1500 and we have started the complete wiring harness install. Since all of the sockets are getting replaced, thought might as well replace all the bulbs as well, which comes...

    Adding Air Conditioning in the South

    The complete kit that I got has defrost abd the heater isn’t electric if that’s what you mean it uses the cooling system just like the factory heater. It is all just moved to one nice unit under the dash G

    Adding Air Conditioning in the South

    I have half the vintage air installed in my daughters 73 c1500. Installed everything but do not have it all hooked up yet as I am trying to finish the wiring and interior so I don’t have to do double work. As far as the kit it is pretty plug and play. No fab or anything really, just bolt in...

    Charcoal Can

    I finally found a diagram for a 3 port can on autozone of all places. So for anyone else looking for this the original routing is 1 port from the fuel tank. 1 port goes to the pcv valve and the other went to the port on the front of the qj carb. So since mine wasn’t used to begin with I will...

    Charcoal Can

    Hey all getting ready to put the 454 back in my 73 GMC and guess I need to address this issue. When I took everything apart the fuel line to the can was fine, but the other two lines were literally just tucked down inside the fender. Where do the two live from the can go? G

    Finally got a squarebody...for my daughter

    The journey began yesterday as I rigged a horn to pass inspection as it appears there is no power getting to the horn relay, so another thing to look at. But after seeing the rats nest behind the dash I may just do a full or partial rewire to at least get rid of the bad wires and glass fuse...

    Thanks for the encouragement and replies, dual plane will be the way to go (edelbrock performer air gap looks good), i am used to using single plane intakes on the strokers i have done in the past. I agree the drum brakes will stop it fine i just hate hate replacing brake shoes lol. G
