Fired up (1 Viewer)

[Degnol]

I just started my '40 today after three months of mods and "improvements". PS, motormounts, header, new carb, blah, blah. Muffler shop was closed but I had to take a spin anyway. Loud to say the least. Thanks for all the help with my self inflicted problems. Primarily wiring.
Thanks,
Ed

Well, I've posted most of this in the past, so forgive my redundancy...
Added the mini power steering and cooler

Replaced motormounts

New waterpump, added 2 groove waterpump pulley and changed from old metal fan to 6 blade nylon. Wanted to go clutch fan, but would have to change out my new waterpump

Boiled radiator, installed a complete shroud

Flipped my alternator to the pass side

Header and 2F intake, '74 carb adapted to 2F aircleaner, and made a nifty warm air intake

Fabbed a fluid heatriser

Amazing thing is that it started right up and I only had one leak... fuel fitting on the fuel pump.
Now about exhaust. I've got a Flowmaster(generic) and 2 1/2" pipe, but now I've installed IDave's SOR 2 piece header. Should I put the y pipe on and reconnect or go with dual exhaust?????

I would run a y-pipe with single exhaust. One pipe tucked up well will not leave much room for another. I do love the look of dual pipes though. Pics look great!!

Got a buddy with duelies and glasspacks. Sounds wicked (like it's a 2 stroke), but unless it's done right it can get cluttered real quick.
