unless there were major changes from '73, you should have:
- pressure regulator in line with "street" water hookup (on my '73
ambassador, it is under the rear bed - close to the hot water manifolding)
- check valve(s) near the water storage tank to prevent the "street"
water from filling (and pressurizing) the main water tank ( the system
is pressurized downstream of the tank when off street )

- sounds like a drain (would only drain if valve(s) would allow) as
there needs to be one for drain-down to prevent freezing

- mine feels the same way ( chev 1 ton/454/auto/4.10:1 axle )

still trying to lear up my own electrical gremlins, and will reply if i
make any great breakthroughs.
