Mannnn......good point Kenny. Thanks for that note!
I do have the 16 gallon tank (falcon aftermarket version). There it is again...change one thing and it leads to another and on and on...
I put the old muffler up in there this evening...and it is definitely very snug. I can see why you moved it forward and went oval.
I was actually thinking about using my old one piece pipe from the manifold to the muffler...and having it blasted and ceramic coated in the tungsten gray. (They have an air cure process.) I was thinking it would look awesome...be essentially original and actually costs less than stainless steel (and have more original sound.) I was going to order a stainless OEM type muffler and just clamp it on. So much for my bright ideas! Now...I'm not sure what to do. Even a 5" looks tight. Maybe I'll look closer this weekend in the daylight, or maybe I'll wait until it's running and go to a muffler shop and see what fits.
Meanwhile on the gas pedal front....if you recall the story...my original one is pretty icky compared to the new pedals and has a huge crack in the rubber at the bottom. So...I ordered the "exact reproduction" which was a light weight piece of ....well, it seems cheap. So, I called and they sent me out the other version at no cost...it arrived and it is a nice, heavy, original style rubber over metal...love it. Then I put it next to the old one...pics attached. It's a different angle. Looks like it will be totally misaligned with the throttle bar. Meanwhile, the cheap plastic one is the same angle. This type of thing should be simpler than it is. Is there an emotion of a guy gagging??
