rumblefish's Duster project
Well, I did a small slew of work. I know that was just like saying military and intellagence work together, but........
Since installing the rear end in & the drive train minus the drive shaft. I finished the exhaust minus the tips. I opted for the Jegs 2-1/2 inch exhaust kit where they suggest it is designed to fit the Hooker Comp. headers. Below are some shots. Don't mind the oil on the header. It is coated from butter & oil fingers dropping the oil filter after cam break in.
The kit required near nothing. Some pipes needed a slight help in fitment. I have a Leslie pipe expander. It helped in a expantion of a couple of pipes to the tune of maybe at best a 1/32 of an inch. Just enuff to be able to rotate the pipe easier. Otherwise, it was a fit together bolt in deal from stem to stern. It included rear pipe hangers and basic instructions. Look at them closely and you'll get it.
They surplied clamps that worked very well. Clamps almost allways stink. Not this time. Very slight leakage. I'll weld them at a later date.
The only thing not surplied was hangers for the mufflers. Universal units may be emploied here. Then you'll need a drill to go through the body behind the rear seat. A Nut and bolt with washers (Lock would be good) to hang the hangers and mufflers up high.
