Re: 1972 Blazer CST Frame off Project in NC
After installing the body on the frame, there was NO WAY my twin shifters for my modified NP205 would work. I realized their angle was way off from the factory shifter, so I sent them back (and the stock original) to the fabricator that made them, and he made me some new ones. I still had to take them on and off 12 times and modify the heim joint hardware pretty significantly - but finally got there. Nothing like spending 5 hours on that!
I was also able to get the carb on, built my own fuel rail for the primary and secondary out of a bunch of earl's performance parts, a russell filter, a holley regulator and some aluminum black anodized fuel line I found. Also used an AED throttle and kick down bracket.
I got my headers on - Stan's Headers - ceramic coated.
Lastly, I installed my serpentine system, with a classic auto air AC compressor with adapter brackets, so i had to use a piece of electrical wire to figure out what length my new belt should be.
