Graeme sold me this a couple years ago. I think it's from late 70s/80s based on the box. The instructions are dated 68. Regardless, it's a neat piece.. Installing soon!

Unfortunately the Line Loc solenoid is not working. Brakes are hooked up and bled. Two days ago I drove the car for the first time in the shop. Everything seemed good enough. Can't really hear anything with a MEAN 496 and open headers anyway..... Muffler shop is only a couple miles away, should I drive the car there with open headers?..... YES!

Yesterday I drove the car on the street about 5 miles to the muffler shop. What an AWESOME experience! More pictures to come but here's the motor with the NOS fly eye... and yes I made a new filter for it before running it.

I will make a YouTube account so all you non Instagrammers out there can hear it

Looks great!

Awesome!

Looks GREAT, Sir!!!

Exhaust system is in. I went with 3" Dynomax Super Turbo Mufflers and Doug's Headers electric cutouts. I knew I was going to bring my car to Gene's Mufflers in Downey, CA for the work. Greg, the owner, did an amazing job on this system. I wanted it to be low profile and be a full 3" system. I also wanted an H-Pipe system since I felt that was more period correct. Greg informed an X-Pipe would be much better and not crack. He said sometimes motors with large duration camshafts literally crack the H-Pipe. Whatever.... Just do your thing Greg. He said, "you won't be disappointed with what I'm gonna do." He was right! He opted to place the cutouts in this position so they aren't visible from the side of the car, very low profile. The mufflers sound really nice but it is very quiet. Sounds like a "Sleeper". Once I wired up the cutouts and tried them out I was equally impressed. Same tone as the open headers but not as loud.

If you ever get a chance, it would be great if you could put this on a chassis dyno and compare with the cut-outs open vs. closed.

Just curious.

Fantastic work in all areas on your build. Love it.

Did you oval the exhaust tips to fit between the leaf springs and the body?

Very creative and nice install. Love your build!
