Paul,
Sounds like you're working all over the coach.

I have some parts that may help:
1. I understand the HEI problem. I have made a cut out in the OEM air
cleaner to clear the dist., try that. The OEM cleaner is very inverted
and trying to find something smaller in diameter with such a low profile
is a chore

2. I have several cruise diaphrams I pulled off when installing the new
design cruise systems. Give me a call & I'll send you one. Of course,
you can pick up one new from your local GM dealer- call & I'll give you
the #'s.

3. sthere are several options on front shocks
Delco, KYB, Bilsteen, Caspro

If you call me at work tomorrow, I'll give you the part #'s.

4. Maserator pumps are available at your local camping world, if you
don't have one near you I can order it in for you.

5. The "rear cap" is what I think you are referring to is not available
and is very hard to find. If a coach is road worthy, it needs on and
there are very few "junkers" around to pull parts from. Call Alex Serum
or Zeb at Southland, maybe they can round one up for you. Personally, I
would try my best to repair the one you have.

5. I can probobly set you up with headliner trim pieces for a 5 panel
unit. Call.

6. Sorry, no side goucho or ladder, Call Alex or Zeb for those.

Hope this helps.
