aj71, thanks for sharing. If I may offer some friendly advice, your next video try to film during the day so we can see your ride, and the less camera movement the better. Tend to get a little dizzy watching the video go in circles around the car. Position the camera behind the car, a good 10 ft away. This will help prevent wind noise (from the exhaust) on the mic while recording, have a buddy rev while you record, or vise versa.

Well this was old video taken on the spur of the moment. That was 2 years ago. My wife did the best she could. Draging it back from Corpus Christi sometime next month its been stored for 10 years. The elements have taken toll on this car so it a junker right now in my head its not going to be as pretty as you alls ride.

By the way, the video of my '69 W-31 was during a test-n-tune where we rented Capitol Raceway. I had just finished the "new" drivetrain and had a very mild tune and was running through the exhaust system. That day we were just making sure evrything was good and were leaving the line around 4500rpm and "granny" shifting at 5000rpm.
I really gotta hone my computer skills so you guys don't start "pickiing on me!!!"
You all should enjoy the little video----Thanks BIG TIME to whoever will post it.

Olds 330 HC, with CompCams 265DEH (211/223 duration at 50), 2.25" dual exhaust, stock exhaust manifolds, and Flowmaster 40s.
This was filmed after driving for about 15 minutes, so even warmed up, it has a nice performance sound with a little lope, although the Flowmasters drone badly at 1,800 rpm (no x/cross-over pipe)

Id like to share mine, being I just got new exhaust put on however, with the new exhaust my manifold gaskets are leaking ( probably stock and never been off ) I attempted the other day and twisted one bolt off. Now I’m afraid to touch it. Any suggestions for getting the manifold bolts out? Do I try my luck and then pull the heads?

Curious, why the cats? I thought they were only good for the environment in California.
