Stop in for a cup of coffee

so I am contemplating my exhaust system... scratching my head wondering if there would be any real difference if I put the mufflers in front of or behind the resonators?

Heck, I have no idea..... I do know I picked up a full two seconds in the 1/8 mile when I did all my modes and drove it daily for 5 years with the split manifold and 390 holley carb, and the tricked advanced dizzy

I am full on confused... you're doing a 6 to 8 swap on her? and cutting out the fender wells!? I thought you were doing upgrades but trying to keep her mostly stock in overall appearance...

what about the engine though? I always think big block when I hear fender well headers... are you puttin' a 383 in there or something?
 
I just spent a few bucks on all new drums and hardware Hops , and it will be stopping a 36?
 
This was a must do for me, these headers do not hang low under the car and if I want the engine or trans pulled they will come out with our mucking with exhoust.
 
I see its a busy day in the coffee shop. Bunch of slant dumpin engine swappers :poke:. Did a visit to the local yard yesterday looking for a NICE drivers side door glass, but no luck. At this point I have a collection of crappy ones. might just pick the best one and swap it later. if my window fuzzies show up, I want to gut my doors and spray rust reformer inside this weekend. Also looking for a better rear view mirror (inside). Already have two, but neither glass is very nice. I did grab an extra valve cover that was already off. I've seen mention on here of guys cutting top out to use for tune ups...
 
Do it Mitch lent me his it is a nice tool to have. For the slant it would be great just bend the edge down for the feeler gauge so you do not rip your hand open.

humm... I hesitate to offer this because shipping is likely to a royal PITA but it is possible that I have a decent one.. do you know compatibility? I am very sure anything I have is 72 back...
