A couple of questions
 
1977 K10 350 with 700R4

I am a few days into installing my new Pro Flo 4 kit and had a few questions that are more specific to square bodies than to the Pro Flo.

First - the kit comes with a replacement distributor that is not HEI. My alternator had a pigtail feeding the old HEI distributor. I should no longer need that pigtail, correct? If so, can I just replace the alternator with a new "one wire" alternator feeding the positive battery terminal?

Second is looking for recommendations for a nice looking fuel pressure regulator mounting bracket, if anybody knows of one

I hope you take a lot of pics because the PF4 would make my K30 so drivable, enjoyable, and reliable. 0 to 6K' can happen any day and -10 cold starts with crisp throttle response would be great.

I can't offer a suggestion on the fuel pressure regulator mount other than use Google to search images & hopefully narrow down what you seek. Then use those images to determine the what/where/who of the part.

I will say the '1-wire' alt can be an issue if you actually drive your vehicle & it fails on the road. Plug & play is better for vehicles that are actually driven as replacement parts are available @ most local places.
