This is just a shot in the dark. My 65 with 4 wheel discs I was sure the calipers were hanging up. It was parking brake cables. Just spit ballin'.

Wow. There are guys out there that say "Back in the day" Like me ! Yep,I remember using the Imp Mufflers as performance mufflers.

I would check with Accurate Exhaust. They are the most factory style/sound that I know of. Maybe contact them and ask what they think. I did a 340 4 speed 70 Duster and got factory stock replacements from them (years ago) I loved the sound. Just a thought..

I replaced the cats (if legal in your area) with a complete TTI exhaust. No headers just stock manifolds It also made a big difference.

2 things you can try to check if the pull is road crown related. On a 2 lane (as long as it is safe) swap lanes as the road slopes from center to the left and right in most cases for rain run off. The other is a flat parking lot that maybe is 45 meters or so to see if it tracks straight.
