I haven't seen one of those in over 25 years. Those I've seen had Qjet intakes.

I know this doesn’t help the car run or drive but it’s a little detail the car needed. I ordered a new set of GM keys and had them cut. Much better compared to the generic locksmith keys

After breakfast I got busy working on cleaning and painting some more parts. But the power steering/ smog pump bracket I decided to modify I have three of these brackets and the original Indy one is put away so with one of the spares I decided to cut the ears off that hold the smog pump as I’m not going to use it on the car right now, after cutting and grinding I hit it with some fresh black paint. I think once I get my welder I’m going to tack on a flat piece of metal to cover the rectangle hole at the top of the bracket but for now it is good enough to use and looks presentable.

modifying the bracket for headers?

No just don’t want to be banging my hands on the ears for the smog pump. Going to run the manifolds for now

It’s coming back to life the new exhaust showed up today. So I got it installed loosely for now but wanted to put it back on the ground to make sure it’s not rubbing on anything. This is the first time it’s been outside in several months.

The kit came with the race pro ones but I’m not sure how it will sound with them. Guess ill find out in a couple weeks if I like them or want to switch to something quieter
