That's a lot of vacume hoses. :eek:

OP here, still have to button things up but I've joined the Holley hivemind. Had some initial problems but it runs good now.
Gave the truck a neanderthal vacuum lobotomy at the same time, converter may not lock up but that's a problem for warmer weather.

Cause over the decades most of that stuff has been removed in the idea of simplicity or performance or economy.
