Re: PROJECT: How would a Chevrolet dealer build a shop truck in the early 1970s?

Thanks.

Work list for this spring:
1) Swap drivers side header out for a real Dorman replacement 2 1/2" ram's horn. This is so I stop burning up plug boots and so I can put a normal dipstick in without juggling the tube in and out around the headers every time I want to check level.
2) Some new front tires might be in my future.
3) A stretch goal might be to put on standard height valve keepers so I can have my full rev range now that the cam is broken in. I had 0.050" taller keepers during the break-in to lower the pressure per my machinist's recommendation..
