Waiting on some carb linkage and custom hotrod fuel hose fittings. I need to rig some exhaust pipes on it so I can get to to the shop to complete the exhaust. Have two porter mufflers and intend to do a H pipe. Thinking about bellflower tips out each side. Now I got to figure out how to move the clutch slave cylinder its way too close to an exhaust pipe now.

I used a combo GM '72 gas pedal and Jen-E throttle cable and did away with the rube goldberg bellcrank-pivot-boomerang linkage. Cable goes around head on Pass side and over valve covers to pick up throttle on EDL1404.

When you do an exhaust crossover, remember the collector of the 1-2-3 pipe on the drivers side is ~6-8'' forward of the collector for the 4-5-6 pipe on the pass side.
My crossover is therefore an "N'' with the cross pipe cutting in at an angle from the drivers side to the pass side. Old circle trackers' trick.
