67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
Well I finally got the Exhaust system!! pretty darn expensive but I heard TTI is the way to go for fitment:
The packaging was nice and everything checked out. I ordered the wrong Z-bar... apparently they have a small block one and a big block one... I wasnt aware of that so I will have to see if I can exchange the one they sent me. But looking at that those headers and where they have to go I dont see how its going to all fit. I read their installation instructions, but even with that it seems like it will be tough... but only time will tell!! pretty pumped!!
But due to their instruction sheets I did a couple things in preparation of the install next month. I removed the old column that was in the car, got the coupling swapped over to the column thats going in the car and set that up to be installed once I get a friend over to help since they say you need to turn the wheels depending which side your installing. I removed the starter, and installed the rear seat belts since this system uses the rear seat belt bolts as a mounting point. I also got a thermostat and new thermostat housing since that was what was leaking on break in
But the remaining work on the GTS should be as follows:
finding a dip stick that would work, Need to get the rear end rebuilt with new gears and bearings, rear brakes, get the remaining parts for the console, chroming the bumpers, seat foam, and head liner...
The list is getting shorter!!!!!! this is awesome!
