So now that the good little 273 V8 is put in within the Barracuda we’re beginning to arrange the exhaust. These vehicles got here from the manufacturing unit with a single exhaust system solely. There was a low efficiency model and a excessive efficiency model however each have been single.To run twin exhaust and have the pipes run the way in which they need to accurately we have to alter the transmission cross member that the rear mount is hooked up to.By doing this each pipes will cling good and near the underside of the automotive the place they belong as an alternative of the passenger facet hanging decrease than the drivers facet. So,this was the job for yesterday.We took two cross members and made one into a component that may work in keeping with what the producer of the brand new exhaust system says. They despatched a diagram so we made a paper template , layed it out , and with a plasma cutter minimize it out. After we had the fabric eliminated we determined to take the curved half we would have liked out of one other cross member reasonably than idiot round bending .Through the years I parted out many of those vehicles so I’ve a number of of those components readily available to make use of. So in these pictures you may see what we did.
Subsequent week we begin hanging the pipes and button up this motor job. At this time I journey. Gonna take out my little 1969 Yamaha DS6C for a journey and get her inspected lastly.
It is a chilly morning right here in NY however sunny with temps within the excessive 40’s F so I am going to costume for it and begin getting used to winter driving. We have now climate forecast from now till the tip of the week so I will be driving some when not wrenching. Talking of wrenching I took the clutch disk right into a clutch store to see if it might be re lined.He says he can do it however the price is greater than a brand new one so it seems to be like I will be ordering a brand new clutch disc and rebuilding the later unit that’s at the moment within the bike as an alternative of the older one that’s on the shelf. I am gonna mess around with the adjustment some to see if I can get it to not slip so I can use it over the winter whereas I collect what I have to do the job.To switch the disc I have to take the motor out of the bike.This can be a large job , been there carried out that so I do know what I am in for.Nicely,it is Saturday morning,the solar is shinning and need to journey. That is what it seems to be like pulling the motor out of a 1975 Moto Guzzi 850-T
That is all enjoyable stuff to me !
