Re: 1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition!

electric wipers are the best investment IMO.

I get hotstarts often in my 51'. I have a phenolic carb spacer and all wrapped fuel lines with return, still happens on hot days. I plan to swap heads with some vortecs and use a high rise intake. I ran that on my 49' and I never got a hotstart, plus it ran awesome.

you can get tube or split loom just like that painless, on ebay or amazon for dirt cheap. like 12 bucks for a 100 ft roll. but its not heat resistant. But only so many wires really need to be heat covered. So just a thought for the future.
