1972 SWB Build

Nice work so far. You cant go wrong with red and white with a 6.0 swap.

Do you mind if I ask what air intake kit you used? I am swapping an f body LS1 into my 70 c10 swb.

Thanks for watching. The wheels are 18x9 0 offset all around with 265/50/18 tires.

I actually fabbed it up myself. I bought a 4” 180deg bend from summit and used some silicone couplers to make it all work. I did weld on a little support tab. I think a page back in this thread there are some pictures of it.

Afternoon all, just uploading some pictures of how I ran my starting wiring with the Speed Engineering shorty headers. I've had some questions about routing, so I thought I would add some photos.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Was there not enough room between the block and manifolds to comfortably run them inboard? Would love to see more pictures of the rest of the exhaust routing. If you could take pictures during the exhaust build and note any issues I would really appreciate it.

Take care of yourself and thanks for sharing.

There wasn't It was really tight so I went around. Not ideal, but it works.

Here is my post on the exhaust. I was, and still am not, happy with the magnaflow exhaust. I just don't like how it fits. I haven't messed with it since I put it on. I'd be interested in trying the hooker blackheart kit, or going the full custom route. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=240

So I started tinkering with the cruise control last night. My PSI harness manual had a diagram in it that was similar to one I found on here courtesy of Ackattack (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=398006). Looking at the diagram, I was having a hard time wrapping my head around how this works. So I set up my "test bench" and with a bunch of jumpers, a 9V battery, my Rosta stalk and my volt meter and made it happen.

Once I started probing around, it all made sense. Since the Rosta stalk outputs a constant 12V on the set/coast line, and pressing the set/coast button interrupts 12V, it all started making sense. This configuration uses this as the trigger for both relays to get the desired outputs. Pretty trick. Since I am using a Dakota Digital dash, I added another relay to get a ground signal for the DD controller so it will show the cruise light on the dash.

I drew this relay layout last night to hopefully help others. I am going to do an in depth post and video on how to hook all of this up soon.
