After a successful installation of the drives side exhaust it was found that the passenger side flared out by approximately 1” from the chassis, as the driver’s side was parallel this could not be adjusted by off-setting the engine.
Breeze sell exhaust pipe / header wedges which go between the header and exhaust flange, installing two of the ½” wedges (1/8” thick insert, tapers to 1/16”, swings pipe tip in or out ½”) resulted in the passenger side exhaust pipe being parallel to the chassis.With both exhausts parallel to the chassis and ground the exhaust hangers were mounted, these provide additional support to the exhaust pipe, and reduce potential vibration stress fractures at the header.
Before installing the EFI computer I decided to mount the wiper motor so that the bolts for the mounting bracket would not interfere with the mounting position of the computer. A simple oversize cushion clamp holds the wiper motor in place. Located on the outside of the passenger firewall with the cable nose facing towards the driver’s side, and angled to follow the curve of the firewall (see picture).
