Hey guys,

Just thought I'd throw up my little weekend project. It was a little more ambitious then what I was hoping for, but I got it done.

Started Friday night by removing everything out of the interior so that i could vacuum, scrub, vacuum again and then recondition the carpet with a little trick i picked up in the orient lol.

Next, was to do do the Kegger mod, as well as put a new distributor cap, rotor, wires, plugs and coil on. And while all that was off, might as well throw some new headers on too :). Taking the intake off wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be, but definitely took more time and was more involved then i thought it was.

The headers are what caused most of the headaches. Trying to remove the studs from the heads was a HUGE PITA. Then the flanges didnt quite add up. Iv almost got it, and will probably finish that tomorrow.

GREAT job on the carpet. Looks new. As for headers, you might have some slight warpage somewhere and might need to buy Remflex gaskets to fix it.

I was actually thinking about cutting a piece out and setting the flange up all nice. The putting a bandaid tube over the existing pipe and weld that
