Photos of my '79 project

Good job!Cars looking great.Just curious,have you had any problems with the heat from the headers frying the
wires in the distributor?I've got a 79 also and the PO took the heat shield off over the stock exhaust system
and I had to replace the pickup assembly in the distributor because the insulation was brittle and falling off.I was
also wondering where you found the 1800 head and intake manifold.
Keep up the good work.

I have a header on mine, and have had for several years, with no heat issues. I don't believe the tin cover on the stock exhaust manifold is necessarily a heat shield as much as a heat collecter to funnel warm air to the carb on warm up in cold weather.

Where did you find a header for a 79 the only place I know is at Allison's and that is about 650 way to much for that . What is yours for is it for a 2000 or 1800 motor you said you changed the head
