Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
O- I see now. Those will be pretty handy then. But, since I already cut mine and bought all the 3/8 high psi. hose I guess I'll just stick with it. Story of my life, always behind the ball...

LOL, I just found out I was behind the ball too, even though it seems as though I was in front of it at one point. Must of got run over by it!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 you guys are too much! i hope it works out this way... ive been measuring and i think the exhaust is going to be too close to the lines if i go straight to the frame rail. i might need 2 90*'s... there's another $30

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
almost ready to fire!!
so today i replaced all the zip-tied fuel lines with actual clamps, installed new knock sensors, knock sensor harness, tranny filter, oil filter and new tranny pan. i also plugged off the throttle body steam ports and that extra port on the power steering pump. my harness was finally shipped today and the steel braided line and -an fittings will be here tomorrow for the tranny cooler lines. all i need to do is install the harness, cooler lines, and fill everything with fluid!!!

Much better than zip ties my friend. I think that looks really nice. Going to be over the top nice when finished. Keep it up.

A cold air kit for a 99-up truck should work just fine.
