Re: 71 C10 Deluxe "Ole Blue'

I got a few good pics of the truck with the new wheels and tires. Still no pics of the truck and Blazer together. I had an intake gasket that was seeping some antifreeze so I thought I'd add some upgrades to the engine at the same time. Added an Edelbrock intake just because I had it and why not lose the heavy cast iron anyway. Added a chrome air cleaner and some GMPP valve covers. Found the HEI cap melted too. I don't know why everyone wants to put the carbon brush thru the rubber washer instead of the other way around. Seems to run smoother now anyway.
