Re: 72 Chevy K20 Wrecker restoration

Hey guys, a couple snags ive run into just trying to get some traction on getting my truck running and driving. I didnt remove the old proportioning valve off the old cab before i scrapped it, mistake. From what ive found the "generic" brass ones arent as well made as OEM, so i think i am gonna try and get one out of a bone yard. I believe 71-77 should work as all those trucks had disc front drum rear. Also, am i going to have to message my fire wall in order to fit the HEI distributor cap? Ive done some searching and it seems that some guys can get them to fit without doing that and some cant. Some have made low clearance caps from several pieces glued together. I am not a fan of that route as i wanna be able to stop at a store and get parts. Thats all for now, just kinda pluggin away at little things as i have time. will try and get some pics up soon.
