I like the FelPro stuff too. I have had copper gaskets on the collectors
for a long time, and they work great. I don't know if they make them for
the top end.
I manged a knuckle pretty bad working on the frame yesterday too. We'll see
how that affects me at work to day. Grinding rusty shrapnel in to your head
and shoulders is always fun too. At least I didn't screw up the '57 JC
subframe connector. The cost of doing battle with the cars we love.
