Quick question about my 66 fury III just curious if wheel well vents were standard on non AC cars they really come in handy in the summer over here in California.

Also I'm working on engine swap right now so I was looking at my current exhaust and it has some old school blue streak glass pack not sure if they are worth anything or have any significance and if I should get new mufflers or just run them with the new exhaust.

Yes, they were standard. You'll see them on AC equipped C-bodies too. My '70 300 'vert has AC and the vents.

Glass pack mufflers tend to blow out the fiberglass after some use. That makes them louder...

Blue Streak mufflers were made by Allied and I think they were sold under the Walker name brand. I don't know as used ones are worth anything, but I've been wrong about that before. From what I read, those were the glass pack of choice for some.

Personally, I don't care for the sound... And old ones are louder than new. But that's me. I run mufflers spec'd for a Caddy with my 2 1/2" TTI exhaust.
