What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

For a while I had wanted to replace the parts house plug wires with period nos 7mm ones. I was hesitant at first because I knew routing them correctly through the engine mounts would be tricky, but after realizing all I had to do was gently slide the boots off the dist cap side, they fell right between the mount and block. Happy with the results. EDIT *** I now see I’m missing a nut on the exhaust flange. Guess that’s next.

If you are replacing nuts consider brass nuts at NAPA

Engine looking much better
