The first question to ask is what is your intention with it when it comes to using it later (street-rod, work horse, weekender, show truck, etc.)? That will guide your thought process as you go.

Verify that you have power going to the pin on the harness connector. Kinda sounds like a bad wire someplace.

New dual exhaust won't get you as much as you think. If you over pipe it you'll actually go backwards on power (exhaust scavenging is SUPER important *) and unless you're already high HP the percent gain will not be that noticeable. The best designed and constructed exhaust system in the world...

Behind the cluster.

You are correct on both assumptions.

Check the upper hose location. All small blocks were on the driver side, two different widths available. Slant 6's had either side of inlet available depending on options. All big blocks were the wide width, non A/C had driver side inlet, A/C were passenger side inlet.

Auto, or manual? A/C? Or width? I've had 3 different widths in /6 70's trucks.

Good beginning point. However... You can have the crank 180 degrees off. So without having the valve cover off and a pressure tester adapter, there's one way to find out. Give it a try, if it fires up and runs, excellent. If it won't fire up (don't try for too long or you might flood the plugs...

Nope. Van wheels are the same as pickup wheels. Most 5 bolt 70's van wheels were only 5.5 inch wide, 6.5 wide usually rub on the strut rod. 1/2 ton 70's pickups came with 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7 and 8 inch wide stock/factory optional rims. The off-set is always neutral or very close to that. I'm...

I have a roof clip that I have for sale, however... I won't be back in the states until December.

Do yourself a favor and don't do it. I've had these trucks with headers in, nothing but a pain in the ass! Shortys will usually fit but are still in the way of the starter/wiring. Long tube usually end right in front of a cross-member! A good quality set that ACTUALLY fits like they're supposed...

I'm dealing on this beauty. 79 360 4 speed A/C cruise, still has the factory spare tire carrier mounted to the roll bar!

The Simon and Simon opening with it on two wheels in a corner has always stuck with me. Suddenly I can't find that on youtube
