GPA 2196 Progress

Hello,

I came out to Oklahoma to help with the GPA Assembly again. Here are some pictures.... Now just trying to figure out how the front wires get from the juction board to the socket under the front deck. It appears from some old picture I have they route through and on the outboard side of the drivers vent box near where the steering cables go? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Tony

David,

Thanks for the pictures that confirms what others have said as well. That is good detail. I noticed your GPA is running a later intake manifold with the PCV hole tapped and a line run through the vent box? Was this a late thing or just a mod someone made?

David,

Great speaking with you this AM. I will PM those addresses. I see your comment about the road tube for ventilation. My understanding is that the the intake manifolds I have that are marked GPA do not have the center vent but only the two on the outside. I used to have one like yours until I found the GPA marked intake manifold with just the two outside holes.... Anyone else have a thought on this?

Thanks,
Tony

Tony,

This is my GPA intake manifold.
It has the center vent hole.

Very interesting. This must be another mid series change because my manifold intake is marked GPA and is not drilled, I searched for a while to find one like that and did not know there were both kinds. Although my other one with the center hole was GPW.

Here is a pic of my undrilled GPA intake. It is stamped just like Leo's with GPA on one tube and the GPW part number on the other, but with no hole. You can see the A of GPA sticking out in one of the pics if you look closely. So which hole should I run my wiper vacuum line off of with this intake manifold?

I have some of them in the garage, stamped as wrote before, all undrilled in the center.
