I told you guys to expect more questions... eek

I'm totally ignorant of the mechanical stuff even though I grew up on a farm...should have never picked up that guitar when I was 14....

I'm retrofitting a 55' block into my 59 truck. The fuel pump on the 55' block only has an in and an out. My 59' had 2 additional (vacuum?) lines. I read through the manual but am still confused. Do I need these other two lines? Does this have anything to do with the windshield wipers?

the 59 pump prolly had the optional accessory vacuum booster, if you have vacuum wipers, it's nice to have - you can swap all the 59 bolt-ons over to the 55, including the fuel pump - if you're going electric wipers [my choice], don't worry about it
