Exhaust ?

Won't run? Engine, cooling system, fuel pump, carb, clutch, tranny, brakes, etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Engine & Mechanical' category are here.

Exhaust ?

Post by npca-penaltybox »

Where can you route the exhaust on these ? I mean other than the stock location which I believe goes out the passenger side ? Any ideas or what have some of you done?????

Exhaust ?

Post by npca-abuelo442 »

Patrols manufactured after 72, have the exhaust pipe coming out at the back on the driver's side, between the gas tank and the leaf-spring. The muffler remains in the same position. I can scan the page from the parts catalog, or draw a sketch.   One of the big problems with the exhaust pipe just behind the passenger's door, is that gases tend to enter the cabin when you are decelerating at high speeds, and it's specially bad if you have a canvas top (my case). And is worst if the windows are opened! (some aereodynamics playing a trick here!). The exhaust pipe at the back mostly solves this problem.   Esteban
