Very nice!
Question, is that a 2 inch single pipe coming out of the header going to a stock muffler? Sounds almost a bit restricted when you increase the rpms, is that to keep it quiet since it is a convertible?

Still...belle voiture 8)

I redid a stainless steel muffler.

Thank you Frankenstang

You wrote that you had to rework the collector header and the throttle linkage. So what did you do? I can't tell from the pics.

That dashboard restoration is fantastic. What a cool car.

For the collector, i have to redrill larger 4 holes and to cut 4 "ears" touching the engine block :

the throttle linkage Z bar to move above the collector

Thank you Ludwig

Looks like you cut and re-welded the arm. I did a heat and bend.

They never tell you about that on the instruction sheet.

Yes that what i do. Your soluce is probably better.

I don't know. Looks like you can weld. I can't. And I messed up the first throttle linkage arm and had to get another to replace it. PLUS my car doesn't look nearly as nice as yours.

Things are sometimes more complicated it seems
