In '73, I bought an LS5, M22, 3.73 1970 Chevelle. Original owner had swapped heads, cam, intake and carb with headers. Ran 13.10 on 26'' wrinkle walls for me.

Isnt there supposed to be an inline vacuum restrictor valve in the line somewhere that reduces the amount of vacuum so it doesn't try to break the door in half?

Thank you. I’d love to find a dated ckf rear for it and an m21 but those will be hard to find. I’m just going to iron all the issues out for now and enjoy it

Got plans for the LS5 after the transplant ?
I have an M21, but I think it's a 66-67 case number.

Yea I’ll probably shelve it never know if I find a clean small block car
