    I'm not sure who makes it, it was included when I bought the car. Header issues for sure! I tried 2 sets of manifolds and they were a no go so I moved to the hugger headers. I still had a bit of an issue do I put the drivers side header in the press and "reshaped" it. Fits good now!

    I have the same setup but they won't let me post it. I'm trying to figure out the best header layout for it. I thought about using the caprice high manifolds and running them on the outside of the frame mounts to lake pipes.

    It's been a slow couple months, but I got the brakes done today. It was my first go with flaring and bending lines. Also the first time I've had to bleed brakes without another person around. Also got the new tank, fuel pump and lines run. All in all, it was a good day [​IMG][​IMG] [​IMG]

    Still moving slowly... everything is mostly wired, column shifter hooked to trans, steering linkage tightened up. One more day and it'll be ready to fire and take to the trans shop to get the 700r4 tuned up.
