I'm running a LS so I also pull the fuel pump fuse.
Knew I should have upgraded the rotors. Next time Makes me want a camper. Kidding. I have no reason to go far, California frightens me.

Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
