Second.Running the wire under the manifolds is a good idea,I did that on my 54.the problem is the header hits the number 6 plug no way to get wire on .same thing on other side hits number 5.I was going to notch header to fit around the plugs but decided to wait untill I have cab back on to check stering linkage,putting cab on tomorrow
thanks for all the help
If they had the smog ports they were later ones, not the early Corvette. 74ish truck might work, they dump more towards the rear like Sanderson cc56 or cc11.
