Your vacuum line is disconnected, and the plug wires are waaay to close to your headers...

Re: Whats not right in this picture?
well it happened on the free way, the valve wanted to drop in ...(my theory) the piston hauln @ss on the freeway with th350 4:11's kept it up, and the piston mauled the surfaces to badly (smacking it who knows how many times) eventually it mauled and hit the head, and eventually stayed.

fuel went everywhere while driving, the truck eventually caught on fire. We found water and put it out, but all my work was gone and burnt, everything from the 300 hei, paint on truck and several wires.... I eventually fixed everything, over a year of problems, from loosing brakes, wiring ghosts, i stripped it, and sold it, (no motor no tranny, no bed) it has sense been made into a 4x4 short bed. hahahaha ill try n find some pics... thats my story!!
