While finally been able to work on the exhaust system I found out that the muffler has a cut out from the oval format they were made in. Does anyone know if this is for keeping space towards the left rear frame or towards the prop.shaft? I'm not sure which wayit should be bolted!:banghead:

I also wonder about the nuts on the U-bolt clamps should be pointing up or down?

Thanks FABO for all the help.

The parts catalog "May" have a diagram to answer the muffler orientation question. My vote is that the flat side goes to the frame rail.

If the exhaust system was built up in a jig and stuffed into the car as an assembly, the nuts on the U-bolts would be facing up. If the system was installed piece by piece under the car, the nuts will be on the bottom.
