Unless you’re dead set on hopping up the 350, I’d follow the...

I’d love to know the difference between the A arms. Only suspension change, that I’m aware of, was the change in outer wheel bearing size in 77 or 78.

Not sure what you mean-

“The idea of applying grease and sealer in the same area“

Would the “valve cover gasket” method work/apply in this instance? Adhering gasket to valley pan, then on block side use grease or whatever, to seal it.

What’s the benefit of the vented oil fill cap, wouldn’t the PS vent tube to air cleaner suffice? GM did away with it, for one reason or another, the vented oil fill cap.

Summit wiring harnesses?

Was checking out Summit’s Labor Day sale stuff…

Any one know who makes theirs? I need a couple and if sale price is good I snag them.

I had been buying AAW ones.

Thx
