Great work on that exhaust, I bet the luxury* of that box of bends really helped but I can see you had to get busy with the grinder in places. Amazing what you can do with just an angle grinder, pencil/Sharpie and an electric metal glue gun.

That was all chopped up into little pieces. None of the pieces remained their original length.Scruffy Bodger wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2023 10:37 am Great work on that exhaust, I bet the luxury* of that box of bends really helped but I can see you had to get busy with the grinder in places.

I have a single 90° and about a foot of straight pipe left.
I need to move the Plymouth back to this driveway, i have more to do to it.

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
You did well guestimating that then! I did one for Toms ZX in 2.5" years back but it was thankfully not too complicated. When he bought the pipe to do the job I got him to get them to put 3 x 45 degree bends in a metre length piece so I could cut and adapt them to suit, bought in bends were out of budget.

I did the same many years ago for a BMW 2800CS as proper exhaust were rarer than Paddington Bears offspring.

I set the ignition and then dialed the idle speed down to fine tune the mixture.
That's about as slow as it'll idle. Reset it up to the correct speed and now it's good.

Engine wasn't running as well as it should.
That's better!

Cylinder 2 was only occasionally firing. Tested the compression. That's fine. Tested the lead, all good there. Plug? Broken.
Bought another plug. Tested the gap, all good.That's better!

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
I'm quite happy because this time last year I had a 6' breaker bar and I was jumping on it to try get the engine to turn.
