Re: pictures of engine compartments?

This is what my '86 with 305 looked like when I brought it home.







As you can see, it's not quite factory stock. But aside from the green garden hose wire loom, the mis-matched plug wires, missing CC linkage, and hodge-podge spliced together vacuum lines, it's pretty close.

Re: pictures of engine compartments?

Zombie,
Where did you get the intake heater hose adaptor? I like it. Less stress on the water hose than routing over the valve cover. I've blown two hoses because of routing over the valve cover.

Re: pictures of engine compartments?

Hey boatpuller, what AC unit do you have, as far as inside the truck is concerned?

vintage air sure fit.....you see nothing inside but,a little bit of the bottom of the blower box hanging out under the glove box.it's all tucked under the dash.you get a smooth firewall look and get rid of the ugly stock box in the corner.as far as being "sure fit".i ran into several little things.however i now love it and it blows cubes.
