You are a wise man to have made him your "former mechanic"...
Words of wisdom. Agree, personally I like being corrected and tuned. I'm world champion for questions, and too many times I think something is fact when it's not at all. It's an education when you're open to it, and hopefully learn to hold things at bay till proven.

He was actually a good mechanic for the most part. I think meth did him in. He took over the old man's shop, and that old man was excellent. I used them because I knew nothing about these and mechanical beyond simple, and shied away from it.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. 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
