- the tube is cut to the correct length
- and we have to take care that we have enough clearance to each side and the cross member
- and we have to built a special adapter to make sure the tube slips perfectly centred into the exhaust manifold

Hello Folks,

Wanna see some more pictures? Here they come:

- this was a kind view for me. I have my Fury for more than 20 years now and I have never had the car on a trailer, except when it was under restoration.
- Finally found the right flange
- Here we bent the right exhaust manifold

Hello Vic,

Looks like a major undertaking – keep on posting more pictures and maintain this quality work and you won’t regret it (maybe only in your wallet)

Regards from the other side of this planet

At this point it wasn’t worthy anymore to put the Pertronix into the 318 distributor and it’s laying on the shelf –...

No problems from Portugal!

Looks great, I just have to get used to it!

Stefan

... and how about
- No rear door handles
- no trunk lock
- side trim
- front fender from another car (go down on the front part)
- front pumper edges not round as mine/ours but a little cut

Stefan

No problem Dick!


- here is another little detail that 318 – 361 Converter require. The water outlet of the 318 radiator meets the oil filter.

The carb # are: 2562 S (front) 2563 S (rear) Dick, this was the best explication I’ve ever heard. No further command!
