Didn’t get any headers, I was looking to get shorty headers but the are hard to find. The system connected great I also added an x pipe. Needed some extra pipe to attach to stock exhaust manifold (since I got headers back kit) but other then that was a easy install. Guys at the muffler shop did an awesome job and it sounds great.
Sharp car!! I say keep 'er as is maybe Man, its a tough call, you dont see original "grandma's" Skylarks every day If it were mine, probably dual exhaust with Walker 17749 mufflers. Q-Jet 4 bbl on factory iron intake. Electronic ign. under original cap. But DAMN, thats a nice ride, is that black or dark blue? No vinyl top is extra nice!
Welcome & very nice car, so clean looking. You hit the Skylark lottery. I agree with many other members Exhaust/carb/ electronic ignition. and maybe Posi and see how she treats you. A little bit at a time, and it keeps you interested and motivated. How many owners ? Are those after market Wheels ?
X2 plus add some 3:23 or 3:42's out back. Ad a rear sway bar with the right lower boxed arms for a sure footed feel and yes do check all the brakes and think of a front disc swap. I would pass on the headers for now, I think the added HP would not be much do to the low compression motor and just be louder plus the fitment issues can be a nightmare, plus probably constant re tightening. Thinking you will be very happy for a while with few first upgrades.. and will feel like a new ride. Yes that is a NICE car and like Mark I like the no vinyl. Dano mentioned adding factory gauges which would look good!
