Just went through the link, photos, and the description of how you replaced the headlight vacuum system. Incredible work. What you've done is very much what I'd like to do with mine, especially the LS3 and the Tremec. I'd love to trade my 73 with you, but I don't think you'd be interested. Good luck with your sale.

Thanks but not thanks
