: We pulled the intake/exhaust off of it Saturday and found the exhaust was broke in to two pieces. I saw that some use a mopar header combo, some use a clifford combo. We want ours to be just a good daily driver right now. I would just like to know what is the best way to go.Stock intake/ exhaust or aftermarket.

:
: Dutra Duals....possible option, can be
: pricey,depending on where your stock exhaust
: is broke. This would consist of (maybe)
: modifying your broken exh. casting, and
: purchasing one new casting from Doug Dutra.
: This setup gives you actually two exhaust
: manifolds, one on the front three, and one
: on the back three. It will add a bit more
: horsepower, but also requires an additional
: pipe running out back...

: Yeah the studs have to be replaced, two broke and the others are worn.On the subject of two barrels, you will have to bear with me it says it is a carter on the side, but no number. Junkyard today says that they have what I need for about 75 bucks is that a fair price? Where are the ID numbers located exactly also/ I looked on the block by the valve cover, but it does not have any letters just a series of numbers. Sorry for the long post but I'm just tryins to get her back on the road - thanks mike

: Hmmm. Being that it's a '79, I'm guessing it's
: a two-barrel intake/carb. If it's not,
: you're going to have to split the
: intake/exhaust anyway, I'd recommend looking
: for a two-barrel setup in the salvage yards
: while trying to find the exhaust. This
: conversion would give you better performance
: while still being a decent daily driver.
: If you swap to a two-barrel, you'll need
: intake, carb, air cleaner, and especially
: throttle/kickdown brkts & linkages.
: Your other options are; Headers...can be pricey
: if buying new.

: Slants have a penchant for breaking that long

: close look at those studs...the ones holding
: the manifolds to the head.
