Had a '77, 360, 4 spd., 4 wd, 600 Holley on an Edelbrock with headers for 11 years. Stock internals. Ran really well and reliable. 140K without clutch change. Some flat towing and snow plowing.
Steering stabilizer made quite a difference on mine. Front wheel bearings were pressed on that were a pain when doing rotors. Everyday driving ate headers every 2-2.5 years. Went back to the stock manifolds after three sets.
Wheel wells, rear bed support channel, and door bottoms were my major rust areas. Some roof line at the front where it bolts to the windshield frame rust also.
No electrical issues for me.
