Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build

Lookin' great, are you going to put the Cuervo truck in your shop? As a mascot??

I like that air intake. I assume you went with a MAP sensor instead of MAF.

What are your plans for the rest of the gauges?
The Cuervo truck is hanging in the shop above my work bench!

I went with the stock MAF. The picture below shows it. I turned it down for the wiring to reach.

As far as gauges go for start up I plan on reading temp from my ECM via an app on my phone. I'll test fuel pressure before we attempt start and then again when running from the schroeder valve. I'm a long ways from putting it in gear and driving it, so I just want it to start to keep the oil moving for now.
