LOL...yeah, I get the "weird" part of it...but it works for me. To answer your question: NOPE, absolutely no rubbing, no touching, none of that stuff. Consider that I am also running 5-leaf spring packs and the massive MP 1" rear sway bar. But I will say this: that's a 3" diameter pipe, and...

Are you dead set on having a factory-like setup? (that being the tailpipes coming out under the bumper) If not 100% sure, consider the alternative, that being: dump the pipes out right behind the rear wheels. You can enjoy the "engine music" a lot more (right behind your ears with the windows...

here is a chart out of MP Chassis book, the answers you are looking for I believe.

I'm thinking factory was all 5/16"...no? Anyways, if you go bigger that's no problem (nor value add) providing that you match up correctly at both ends, meaning: good hose clamp and carb fitting match. But to avoid all that trouble I'd rather run with a factory size.

Ahhh...got it now...at first I couldn't tell if that 1st pic was just a "side by side" compare of the fitting...but the genius in-tank pics shows this very well! Nice sir...thank you for sharing this. BTW: given the stamped ribs in tank body, did you have to 'massage' that area for the Holley...

Interesting experience, quite the opposite of what I've seen with just about all of our family cars as well as my Mopar. From a performance/HD usage perspective I suppose the Coupe has been the 'poster child', multiple fast stops at the end of the 1/4 mile haven't seem to have put any warping...

FYI - the news sucks, as at least for me Raybestos was traditionally to "go to" brand for premium stuff.

I thought you'd never ask!!! (LOL) 1980 and 1981 Parts Books scans attached EDIT ==== What an absolutely atrocious/abysmal rendering of the uploaded images you guys...yikes...I can't read any of it...PoS forum functionality, seriously...in today's age there is literally ZERO reason to...

Same thing applies...the F/M/J-body measurements are the same.

So @Gunnar Schroder, are you clear on what FirmFeel is suggesting to you? Like @Mikes5thAve explained, the aftermarket options typically require you to remove the ISO setup and replace that with a B-body style configuration. The 'ISO-Delete Kit' has the TOP plate (the square with 5 holes)...

So there are a few points here that are very interesting to me: 1) M/E Wagner PCV - I have had this for a few years now and what a huge tuning aid this was...hopefully yours has been a great experience as well, how do you set yours up? 2) Spectra Premium gas tank w/ in-tank electric pump - oh...

I started in a somewhat spoiled of a point, that being: a fairly tight OEM power steering box (that was actually a FirmFeel unit), barely any sloop in the 12-o'clock position, the previously mentioned power steering pump pressure drop trick and basically all NEW components all around (part of...

My poor excuse for why it has remained that clean is the simple fact that I just don't get to drive it all that much during the rather brief cruising weather we get here. The Coupe is not a fire & forget ride anymore, not to say at all that it requires a certificate of some sorts to drive it...

Well, I was spoiled by the fact that I had the old engine pulled out and was installing my new W2 408 stroker build...so the engine bay was completely empty: no headers, no plumbing in the way, etc. So for what it's worth I've attached a few photos of what I started off with (header-driver.jpg)...

That's a lot of great work there!!! Nice outcome too...very cool.
