My 66 Satellite street car project

Thanks Malex, You know what would be awesome…. Actually driving it this year. Last year was a bust, this year looking much brighter.

Driver side done. I was going to go all the way around to the bottom but with the K Member still in the car and headers in the way this option I think works. A little clean up with Roll-Lock disc and going to paint it.

Thought I was installing motor this week but just noticed the surface rust on the less then a year old TTI headers. They are under warranty but TTI wants me to ship back for strip and recoat. Problem is 5 weeks turn around. This car ran for about an hour on these. Sat in my trailer for 9 months. Ridiculous!

I wouldn’t have expected that. I just crawled under my one car that spent the winter in a trailer, no surface rust to that extent, although mine sure do need a good polishing.
So are they going back for re-coat?

Well, I'm going to keep looking around before dropping $1k on a set of headers.

Yep strip and recoat. They did warranty them without even seeing pictures, and they did pay to send back (sent a label) but still now I have to find a box, package, bring to UPS, and wait 5 weeks. UGGG cant win.

Manifold back from Wilson, had the intermediate porting done. Took 8 weeks!

You can see the feeler guage in the port in the one pic. Only the upper half is not touching. I would think that adding thicker gaskets would move the entire intake up but i don’t believe it would change the angle.
