I had a similar problem with our 68. Because of the crappy roads around
here, every 6 months or so, the muffler would come loose from the manifold.
I got fairly adept at replacing in in less than half an hour most times.
I finally took it into a small independent muffler shop, and explained my
dilemma. What he did, was to insert a smaller flanged downpipe into the
original pipe. It make a wider mounting surface, that was less prone to
pulling out of the flange. I have yet to have the pipe pull loose again,
after over a year. If the necking down has created a loss of horsepower, I
have yet to notice it. And even if I lost a small amount of power, I would
rather have that, then the continual battle with a dropped muffler pipe.
