Re: sprint_9's 72 C10 Project

Thanks everyone.

Heater hoses are Gates 28471

Ill attach a couple pics of the wire looms. They are mounted with brackets I made. Started off with 1.5 inch angle and trimmed to fit around the headers and anything else. I originally had the loom bracket attached to the angle through the same bolts that hold the plastic separators, but the way everything lined up they were hitting the firewall. So in order to move them forward I cut some 1/2 inch flat to pinch down on the loom bracket, this allows a much greater range of movement to adjust them were needed and still use factory bolt holes in the head. One other thing to note is my heads had some small dimples on the valve cover gasket surface, a couple of these were ground off with a small Dremel to allow the angle brackets to sit flush.

On the Grabber Blue, I used the 10-17 Mustang for application to pull up the paint code. I know they also had Grabber Blue in the 60's, Im not sure if both are the same but I think they might be.
