Nice work. I bet its fun to drive. Is a 76 smog exempt? if so , it's great to see the upgrades and still keep the smog cops happy.
Is that another variation of Marks overflow bottle, or your custom job?

its not smog exempt. we are plumbed for it. air pump will be put back in. it actually seized and blew apart after the test. there is a cat converter in the system. the overflow bottle is mark's with the little holder being my small contribution.
