A tiny update. The AN fittings for the vac port weren't going to work without modifying the return fuel line (which is still an option that is dancing around in the back of my head). The lines on my truck are braided steel, I saw a '93 in the bone yard that was regular steel hard lines. I wonder when the change occurred. Today I got a straight nipple, the whole thing is about 2" tall. It BARELY fit next to the fuel line, getting the rubber vac hose on it will be tight. Overall I'm pretty disappointed in the GMPP intake, they dropped the ball on too many design features. I know it's way past too late past the party to ***** about things, but as a mechanical designer I just cringe at how poorly thought out some of the design features are with this manifold.
I got all of the small EVAP plumbing done, battery cables were made and installed last night. I will do a full power up tomorrow, just to do a function check of headlights and things like that. If I can get the brake booster hose routed tomorrow, I should be able to fire it up once I prime the oil system and get the dizzy dropped back in place.
I'm still not 100% sure about how the ground wire on the headlamp harness gets routed through the core support, if anyone has a pic with their grill/bumper off it would be a big help to me. TIA
