Trying to finish the last of the hookups....need some guidance:

1) Where should I hook up the grounding straps?

2) Do I need to hook up the PVC to the valve cover or is a breather fine?

3) Do I need to use two springs on the throttle linkage or just one?

THx,
Goose

1--anywhere thats handy--one to frame, one to body.
2--Yes--PCV one side -breather other side.
3--one is better (does not wear out throttle shafts as fast)
4--Advice does not come with a warranty.

you can get the ground strap kit from any vender.

i agree, but my advice comes complete with a taillight warranty. As soon as I see your taillights, Warranty expires!

Also a grounding strap that goes from the firewall to a valve cover bolt. Another goes from the frame to cab support area.

One grounding strap goes from the passenger side rocker box to the frame, there is a little hole at the front of the rocker box that it bolts to.

Thanks guys.

I read over in the 67-72 Truck forum that they were recommending 4 grounding straps. But that may have been because of the seperate bed.

Thanks for the help guys...Promise to not hold you to your WARRANTEES!
