Isnt it great to just go for a drive. It will slow you down a bunch but a 3" exhaust with cutouts to unleash the power at the track is a great addition




Maryland Speed is where I bought my Dougs 3 inch electric cutouts.
They have the best price that I could find, $359.95 with free delivery.

They were $100 cheaper (or more) than any other place that had them.

It cool that you'll be able to cruise it on the Street.


Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Not even by a time consuming step by step procedure?

I have 3" on my SB powered fish. The KOS 499 had that huge 4 1/2" system which was very heavy and not that quiet. I think I will have our local ex fab guy put together a simple 3 1/2" H pipe. Should be plenty of clearance as the frame is already notched for exhaust pipes. Gonna go with dumps like da fish has.

I am sure glad Hardesty / Robbins left the car wiring in so the lights / flashers still work. Need to put in a pass side window regulator so that glass window works. Maybe tint the read side windows so the bars and data system don't show as much.

Looks great Mark!

I'd like to have this X-pipe on my car someday to quiet it down on the street and then have some electric cutouts on it for fun.

No good pic of the exhaust yet, but I have 4" collectors reduced to a section of 3.5" pipe, bullet mufflers, and turn downs near the end of the door. It's loud, but I'm kind of stuck because they are fenderwell headers and the only way to get the exhaust further back would be to go under the frame rails.... not happening.

Back to resizing pics now....

Bigcubes window decal reminded me to post this pic. I had this rolled into my tin work when we back halved the car. Great minds think alike...

What part of town was this cruise at? St. Charles/St. Peters area? The West County/South County/Jefferson County scene is getting a little boring...need to take in something different.

It's in St. Charles at West Clay and Duchesne. It is held the second Saturday of the month at JJ's Restaurant Most of the 50's and earlier cars park on the restaurant lot, and the rest of us park on the US Bank lot right across from JJ's.

This Saturday (and every third Saturday), there is a cruise at "The Lot". It's on the North Service Rd. between Cave Springs and St. Peters, just west of where 370 comes off I-70. Even more room there than at JJ's.

OK, so Raff was correct - this alcohol Dominator is KILLING me on the street. 2 mpg and I have been pulling the oil drain plug before every trip to get the excess fuel out of the pan. Best race carb ever, but puts out more fuel at part throttle than the engine will burn.

So I borrowed a C&S Aerosol 950 carb. It is a 4150 style and I have been playing with it on the bench. It is very simple to remove the secondary pump arm and linkage so the secondaries will not open at all. Would this be going too far?

I only drive the car at part throttle, so I just need it to start and idle cleanly. I'm hoping to maybe get 4 mpg and not wash fuel past the rings. Any suggestions?
