My 73 GMC build
« on: June 18, 2007, 07:24:49 pm »
I thought I would post up about my 73 build. Here is a small vid of the exhaust. Pardon the quality, I compressed it from 23mb to 4 mb.


I will post pics when I have a chance in my photobucket album. Hope you all like it.

Good sound but I think you've got a little hesitation...maybe tune the carb and rework your distributor ;)

I kinda figured it has a small proble. When I get a new 4 barrel to replace the 2 Ill do more tuning. It was mainly just to be able to more it in the yard. Thanks for the comment. 8)

Sounds much better with the system, but I don't like uncapped headers... ;)

thanks for the replys. Its going to be a long build. I set goals of when it will be on the road, and always fail. I need to set more realistic goals.

I just noticed there is a members project section, could a mod please move this to there? Or am I better off making a new post when I get more updates?
