Thank you for your help. I slowly worked it loose. Worked great.

Have steering column pulled to rebuild. Does the horn button/cap just pry off? Sounds stupid but I don't want to break it.

Been working 12 hrs. a day this week. Not much time for forum. Maybe I can use the Accurate mufflers and resonators. I'll be using this Cuda for 200-300 mile trips occasionally. Going to buy a nice sounds system for the wife. Probably be upset if she couldn't hear it. Personally the sound of a...

I have headers with 3" collectors. Also my rear valance doesn't have the openings for the exhaust. Do you think the Accurate system would work for my car?

Since I have a 383, I'll go with a 2 1/2" system. If I had a 440 or larger I would go with 3". Were the resonators put on to quiet the exhaust more than just mufflers?

Anyone have any thoughts on what exhaust/mufflers would sound very close to factory exhaust for an E body? I can remember the sound of some of the muscle cars back in the day but not a Cuda. I kinda remember a factory Road Runner/383. I don't want anything real loud but I want it to sound like a...

Very reasonable. Thank you for the explanation.

I agree. Shorter leaves above longer ones will break leaf springs

Seems like shock extenders or air shocks would cause the same damage to upper shock mounts. I checked my mounts after removing air shocks and B4 installing the QA1's and fortunately mine were'nt damaged. Unfortuntely I won't ever have to worry about numbers matching parts as I do not have either...

Recently I wanted to get rid of my air shocks. I found some modified leaf springs in Year One's catalog. They are made by Eaton. You can buy them in 1/2" increments from 2" lower to 2" higher. Added neoprene shackle and spring bushings at the same time. I am pleased with the product and the results.

Thanks all of you for the advice

Has anyone on this forum had any experience running an aluminum flywheel on the street? I assume my 383 will rev quicker but wondered about drivability? I've heard accelerating from a stop is different. Pro's and cons?

OK I'll try it this weekend.

Thanks, I think I can do that. Sounds pretty straightforward. In the future, If I mess up I would take it real kindly if someone points it out. Sorry for the confusion.

Ramenth, Thanks for your patience. I have to admit I got a little excited when the 1st pic actually posted. Working 12 hours/day the next 2 days but I may try to start a thread this weekend. If I get stuck I will certainly ask for help. (If I can figure out how to message a fellow member.) Thank...
