What did you mean in the video when you or your friend said, "Seemed to have gotten rid of it." Did you have a little knock or something at first?

That is the sound of some sweet music. I'm looking forward (perhaps far forward) to my '68 442 playing a similar tune again someday.

Oh, haha. No. There was air in the heater lines, so when we turned on the heater with the cap off the radiator, water was just pouring out. We turned off the engine and restarted it. At that point, the water stopped pouring out.

At least it flushed the engine pretty well. haha.

Sounds and looks great!
The redlines with the white paint and post 68 body make for a great combo

68Tom

Thanks all. I actually got to drive it for a day yesterday. Still have some glitches to take care of, but for the most part it's running well.

Anyone have an idea on how to get the repop dog dish caps to stay on the stock wheels? I drove 20 yards down the road before the first one just flew off the car. I ended up taking all of them off. I should have kept the original set i had.

Very happy for you, the car sounds great.

I don't mean to be critical but you need to clean up that exhaust. Sliding the trumpes over regular pipe does not do that car justice. What a fine looking motor. That thing is really, really, nice. Great job!

68Tom

You know who did that? It's a Gardner Exhaust system. Complain to them.

z11375ss

OK. Talked to Gardner Exhaust. They apologised and said you should get a Flowmaster kit and have a qualified exhaust shop install the pipes. Or cut them and have them welded correctly and hung in the right spot. They really said this. And Santa will probably bring them. Honest. Nice car, no offense intended. Hope you didn't take it that way.
