Last 2 mufflers in the video.
It's a noisy 502 BBC , I can tell its its Comp Cams XR274 Hydraulic Roller cam equipped, what they sound like Comp Cams super noisy clatter from the the valvetrain.
Nice.I just bought a conversation kit early this morning for the Cat. I’m swapping over rear disk brakes for the drums. Got a Detroit kit.
New front wheel ABS Hubs for the Avalon. A Motive oil pump for filling Toyota transfer cases, motor oil and transmission fluid (because they don’t have dip sticks).
Probably 75-80% new value now.Well at least I don’t have to cut any welded mufflers, my SS bands saved some trouble. This is another time when buying shit and shelving it for years comes back to bite me on the ass! Walker has a 90 day satisfaction guarantee on these mufflers but no good now. Wonder how much could I sell these “Used less than an hour mufflers” for?
It's best to plan out days to work on the Catalina .My list of things to do on that Cat never shortens! Waiting for some cooler temps to come, I get more done in less time and don’t feel so wiped out before I’m all done.

It's been a long time since I troubleshooted a convertible top power motor system on a Vintage Musclecar.I have to provide pictures but when I look down the windshield standing be the driver’s door I see the wiper arms touching the underside of the hood. It’s a very narrow space. I’m thinking of a couple things. There may not have been that much space to begin with so if the hood went un noticed from a past re install and it sits just a 1/4” lower up by windshield and perhaps wiper blade refills are a slight bit taller, that could be enough for interference.
I have no idea where to begin trouble shooting the convertible top.
DynoMax Super Turbo mufflers will be delivered tomorrow, yes, on Sunday!
The part number you gave wasn’t what I needed. Had to order WT-17733, off set and center outlets. $45.88 ea. Delivered by Amazon. Expecting a bunch of goodies today too!
You want the GTO 400 HO and 428 HO 390 Hp Dual Snorkle Air Cleaner.Really need an OE air cleaner. Somewhere somebody threw theirs in a scrap pile because they preferred the open element chrome lid one from Pep Boys.
