Can anyone point me in the right direction about adjusting the rod on the rear LSPV for rear brakes. When I put the lift on, I raised it up a bit, not sure if that is correct or what. Brakes feel real good, not sure if rears are doing anything or not. Anyone got any tips on testing to see if rear brakes are engaging or how to adjust the connecting link for rear brakes. I did it install it per Dobinsons instructions on the bracket.
Might want to ask this in the 80 tech thread as a NEW post. I deleted mine but you can raise the arm to compensate for the lift.
 
Mocking up the new wheel. Still lots to do to make it remote functional.

More pics of LRA tank. Hopefully have this thing running in a couple of weeks.

My apologies if this has been covered. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction for fuel tank venting.

I believe this gm pump module has a large vent and a small one. I figure the small one would go to the charcoal canister. And the large one over to the one at the filler neck?

I don't believe either are returns because the LT series doesn't use them.

And, are the factory gm electrical and hose connectors available somewhere? Or should I find one in a junkyard to source them?

Do you have a fuel system schematic?
 
Well, I'm not left with many options for my crossover pipe.

Gonna go right under the bell housing, I think. But I'm not thrilled with the clearance and the heat. Trans cooler lines may need re routed, but didn't really want to spend the $ on that.

This photos are at full compression.

Have you thought about going around the front using another driver side manifold installed on the passenger side so it shoots down towards the front?

No, I hadn't considered that. Seems like a long way to go.

I'm taking it by my exhaust shop today for muffler selection and some consultation 🤣

Any pics?
I found this from @Shoppy

We're gonna ditch the crossover pipe all together. Two mufflers will keep the noise down and simplify things a little.

He asked a question I didn't know the answer to.

With no cats, how far from the manifolds to mount the o2 sensors?

Interested to see how that turns out.

My sensors are probably 10” from the manifold collector.
