Re: Z's 1972 K5 CST Blazer Rebuild

Looks like a good start to me, now on to your questions....

Inner fenders: My opinion is to replace them if that is in the budget, you could also look into having someone repair them or find some better stock examples.

That vacuum canister is scary, I dont even see how you have power brakes. The brake booster line should be connected to the base of the carb itself (back side) or the intake manifold between the carb and dizzy. The PCV valve (the part in your valve cover) should be hooked up to the front of the carb to pull vacuum on the crankcase. (I think!)


Edit: I just noticed you have a Demon (?) carb, I have no idea if that is the same vacuum line configuration as the Edelbrocks I am used too, hopefully someone else will chime in.


The steering boxes can be rebuilt, but most people opt to get a replacement box (either at the parts store or a supplier like Early Classic Enterprises (ECE)) I have never rebuilt one, but wouldnt truct myself to do it correctly on a safety item such as steering. Just my .02!

Hope this helps!
