FWIW, I'm going to upgrade to 235/70R15 on some 15x7 wheels I got off of a Diplomat. Won't have any worries with that combo and my speedo should stay reasonably accurate.

The tips were $67 from TTI with shipping. The Walker 18381 mufflers were $47 each from Amazon The installation and fabrication from Mach One Muffler was $800 with tax, which included: 2 1/4" flanges/gaskets (mated to the 2" exhaust manifold) 2 1/4" head pipe down to the torsion bars "H" pipe 2...

that is a 1965 Ford Galaxie 2 door in a dark burgundy / egg plant color. Gorgeous.

All custom fab, just tips from TTI.

8 months later, here are my duals with TTI tips. Thanks for all the input. I’m very pleased with the look, and the sound of the 2 1/2” pipes is so huge compared to the single 2” exhaust. Sneak peak video in my YT channel with full video review coming soon.

Welcome to the club! Congrats on your purchase! You’ve already found my build thread so no need to point you there. Something in me wants to see you paint your doors white and put a red police light on the roof! Keep us in the loop as you get each project done.

Sneak peak!

Did you look at the photos on post 43 of this link? Those are the only photos I took. '66 Newport 2 Door hardtop

After carefully reading and reflecting upon @72RoadRunnerGTX and others input, my plan for next summer is to relocate the wiring and relays for my headlights over to the alternator side, since they currently sit on the battery side. I haven't had any problems yet, but I do understand that...

Finally got dual exhaust with a H pipe installed on the Newport today. It starts out as 2 1/4" at the manifold (original head pipe is 2") and then goes up to 2 1/2" once it gets to the torsion bars. The exhaust flows into a pair of Walker SoundFX 18381 mufflers and empties through a pair of...

I had a Jeep GC with the double cardan joint in the front position. It made all kinds of strange noises at various speeds and I couldn't see anything obviously wrong anywhere. I thought it was a wheel bearing or maybe an axle bearing. I finally removed the driveshaft and discovered that it...

I’ve got two of those ready to go on my Newport in 2 weeks.

Thank you for those photos. My gasket also has that round "dot" in the upper passenger side corner. I looked at a bunch of B bodies and 1 C body at a car show back in August, and most gaskets looked more like mine than not. Very few looked "perfect." Most had some weird deformations. Mine...

My first guess is that you need a new ignition switch.

Thanks for your comments. I exchanged emails and comments with him and politely disagreed with him. I am totally aware that problems can and do creep up on you, but I’ve been wrenching on cars for 35+ years and know enough about this stuff to do a simple ammeter bypass without burning the car...

I made a short video of the Sanden-style AC Compressor upgrade I did in August, just for folks who like "talkies."

The field wire maintains it's factory connection. Here's a video I made describing some of the details. I've gotten some comments on the video recently that I did "everything wrong," but I've done what many others have done, and I've had zero issues in 18 months.

I had the thick gasket with the BBD, but it was pretty crusty so I didn't use it with the Stromberg I put on. I'll see if I can find a new one. Should of thought of that in the first place .. . . derp!

My Newport was sold to me with a BBD from an early 70s Dodge Truck (for some reason) and yes, it's the same bolt pattern.

So the gasket I found that was listed as fitting a Stromberg WW is too small. Second time I’ve run into this problem, which is why I’m posting here.
