Mileage: 109
Engine: 1985 spec, higher compression 318 2bbl with 302 heads I rebuilt it in November 2011.Comp cams RV cam, lifters with double row chain & gear set. MP chain tensioner. New Canadian Y-pipe with single 2 1/4inch cat and 2 1/4 inch Hush Thrush and two piece 78' Cordoba tailpipe, also 2 1/4 inch. The 1 7/8 inch restrictive section of the cat's pipe was cut out and it's 2 1/4 inch all the way out the back. 22 year old MP distributor controlled by Summit multiple sprak ignition box and Flamethrower II coil. Taylor Spiro Pro 8mm black plug wires and Autolite Coppers opened up to .050 thou.
Drivetrain: A-999 trans with remote transmission filter and stacked plate cooler. Light duty 7 1/4 rear end with open 2.26:1 gearing, fully synthetic gear oil.JVC CD player with 6X9 Blaupunkt 3 way rear speakers. New 3 1/2 inch front speakers. Interior has been re-upholstered entirely and looks like it did when new. Custom made MK III cupholder/consle
Notes: Bought it from a younger guy and we de-pimped it. That guy or the guy before him had real duals custom bent front to back in stainless, including two mirror like stainless Zoomie mufflers and tailpipes that dang near touched the tank. Replaced the illegal (in our Province) exhaust system and de-tinted the windows and gave away the window rain lips. Traded the American TorqueThrust wheels to a guy restoring an AMX. In return he gave me 4 Mirada CMX Chrysler wheels and did all the work required to safety the car (good deal all round).

Not rocket science to add 10 inches of bigger pipe and lop off that three inches of 1 and seven eights restrictive pipe. It allows you to run not only any 2 and a quarter inch muffler, but also a later model B body tailpipe, which fits perfectly.

You can see the restriction has been cut off and a 2 and a quarter inch extension welded onto the back of the cat pipe.

Weld or get welded the 10 inch extension of full 2 1/4 inch exhaust pipe onto the back of the cat pipe, where you just lopped off the 3 inch long piece where it restricted the pipe down to 1 7/8 inch. This also makes up for the slightly shorter than ...

This last three inches of the cat pipe is what you lop off. The cat pipe has been fully 2 1/4inch I.D. all the way up to the muffler, NOW it necks down to 1 7/8 inch pea shooter size. Uh uh, cut it off.

This little piece clamped to the top of your tailpipe, over the axle, and slips into your rubber hanger bracket attached to the floor. It's shorter than a stock M-body piece to allow the thicker tailpipe to tuck up higher. Walker #35125 for @ $1.39

Less than $75.00 gets you a Canadian Y-pipe with no pre cats that gets you from the manifolds to the cat in 2 1/4" pipe. Walker 40430

Hush Thrush, Dynomas or just plain Walker 17713. Turbo style 2 1/4" muffler with the correct M-body inlet/oulet offsets for under $20.00. Just a smidge shorter than stock.

I'm running this digital multiple spark control box that lights off each firing multiple times below 3000 rpms and then gives and uber fat single spark over 3000 rpms. Frankly I'm chasing mileage even more than performance so I don't care what it's d...
