Some doofus muffler shop cut the flange off the end of the exhaust
manifold and welded the downpipe directly onto it (P.O. before P.O.).
What is the best (still inexpensive) tool to cut through the pipe?
I'm buying a header because it's cracked anyway. Should I take the car
to a good muffler shop and having them fabricate something or should I
buy the exhaust from Rallye or another vendor? If through a vendor,
any preferences (price, quality, ease of installation)?
Rallye is a bit pricey ($450 or so for the exhaust system) and I'm not
concerned about originality but do want quality and an attractive sound
and tailpipe.
Now for something completely different. What is a good replacement
carb return spring?
Finally, the '70 has a thingie (technical term there) on the intake
manifold that prevents the car from going immediately to idle in third
and fourth (or so I've been told). Two wires go to it; one is busted.
Do I want this thing functional, or is it best left disabled?
