Please turn your belt around so the lettering is facing you. My CDO sensor is going banana's!

Good build so far, keep up the good work!

I used the CIP1 intake on my '66. It fit fine, but it has 2 ports for some unknown vacuum application. I wish I had removed them & welded them shut before I installed it. I just have them plugged with caps for now & it works fine...

About the header wrap, it does it's intended job, it keeps heat on the exhaust tubing. This leads to overheating the tubing & causes it to become brittle & crack.

yea TDCTDI I hear you . also possible corrosion or rust . I always ran this stuff on my sport bikes . never had a problem . those exhaust systems can be upwards of $1000 . but yea I hear you .always good to consider pros and cons of header wrap . but the real reason is I freakin love header wrap . lol. there was no chance of me not putting it on , I just couldn't stop myself . thanks again
