    Still has greasy fingerprints on it but I like them a lot. I need to tighten the passenger shroud down because it buzzes a little. I will Magic Erase and Dawn the doors and fenders today to clean it up a bit after it warms up outside. I will also tighten the manifold nuts just a little too. I am surprised how quiet they are. I figured they would be insanely loud but they aren't much louder at idle than my factory single was.

    Are you going to put your headers on next? And we need to meet back up soon, I almost have the 70 ready for the road.

    NICE!!! :thumbs2:

    Those are 10" longer than the ones I had, and fit perfectly. Mine were 60" and I thought were too small.

    I just love how the still frame for the video showcases the only rust spot on my frickin car!

    I can't tell if I need to tighten it up some more or just go with it as is. I don't want to break the metal gasket to the manifold or spin a nut on the stud because replacing the manifolds appear to be a daunting task.

    OMG! I just remembered I have a sparkplug wire off! WTF dang!

    New video coming...I'm an idiot. I drove it last night like that too. No wonder it felt weird and drove so strangely. I thought it felt weak. I plugged in the plug and it was hard to start...runs great now though. man I feel dumb.

    Second try. This time on all 8 cylinders. Sounds better, idles smoother and it's louder. LOL what a maroon! I love them. I sniffed the back corners of my hood for exhaust(that's right I sniffed my car) and smelled no fumes...
