Team Roadsters,
I have a 69/1600 that runs strong that I would like to make a semi daily
driver. I have been tracing down an exhaust leak for the past few
months with not much luck.
Today I removed the exhaust manifold and found a crack in the "Y"
section of the manifold.
Questions:
1. Has anyone had any long term success welding an exhaust manifold?
I was considering replacing it with a header from one of our vendors but
he said the started would have to be replaced with a gear reduction
model.
2. The starter that is on the car now is only 5 3/4" long do I have the
gear reduction type starter?
3. Has anyone installed one of the popular stainless steel mufflers
that are very popular with the new Hondas? They have a nice throaty
sound during acceleration but quite down when cruising?
Any input would helpful,
James Richards
