Re: Attempting my first build 72 K5

The body was mounted using energy suspension poly bushings and we ran into a little issue with clearance on the drivers side for the spark plug wires. It needs to sit up just a tad higher to clear the spark plug wires. This could be the result of using a wire loom separator mounted horizontally along side the valve cover. I know the poly bushings run on the thinner side compared to OEM stock. I purchased these bushings a while ago, before Wes had his back into production.

Instead of shimming it, I decided not to even mess with it, so I called up Wes (classic Heart Beat) and ordered a set of body mount bushings this morning. Hopefully they will arrive before the weekend so we can resume.

I posted a couple pics. The first one you can see the wire being push up against the firewall.
