Top parts and wiring...
This is my first time doing a basic swap, I'm done with front accessories and bracket adjustments, but I'm now needing parts for the top like breather cap, PCV tube, vacuum lines or do I even need half of this ???. I kept most of the old parts but lost alot of the main ones, so I'm not sure what I need at this point, and where would be the easiest to get them without running to 15 part stores. As for carburetor, I was given a h olley double pumper, but may go with a smaller edelbrock, this is just gonna be a light duty use truck. Temp sensor, oil sending unit, I still have my old ones but this other block came with them already but I don't think my connectors will fit, so should I order new identical ones as before or rig it some how to connect??? My old wire harness is kinda worn and sloppy, could I order a kit with what I need and just splice in more organized one????

Swapping what into what?
On sensors and gauges: they changed several times over the years. Especially temp gauges. An older sender connected to a newer gauge will give incorrect readings. Same for the flip case. There are several threads on gauges and senders. |

Im going back with the standard gauges in the dash....nothing new.....if my old temp sensor will fit into new block, it will connect to old wire connected. Oil sending unit too.
