Jim I like the paint scheme on the F/A!
What's up with the external steering arm?

It was a work-out.I don't keep everything in one spot,in case of fire (it happens,neighbour's barn burned down 2 weeks ago).It was an opportunity to take inventory.I've got a lot of work ahead of me,everything needs cleaning or blasting or polishing,then assembly.

Mark I guess I should have waited for a little warmer weather before I started this post. I was going to raze you a little for taking so long to post the pictures but seeing as it sounds like you went through a lot of work to do it I will just say. Nice bunch of motors and thanks for posting.  |

I've been mooching everyone else's pic's for a long time,they'll come in handy assembling these old Magnums.Rick,this thread pushed me to figure out Photobucket,so I learned something useful.

Also looks like you have both varieties of the 73 Magnum pipes.

Left set,corrected for volume.The chrome set beside them are original volumes.I think the volume difference is about half a liter.Even the corrected set aren't equal,the tuned length would've been too far apart.

So did anyone notice the engine in the 75 F/A with the black hood? I am disappointed in some of you for missing this! You know who you are.

Joe, There's also something else under the hood, I only know because I spoke with Jim about it. What could it be? ;D

Do you think the earliest of 73 Magnums had the long pipes and the different heads, and the sometime in early production they switched to the short pipes and newer heads? Or is there no connection between the two? |

Tomorrow,after nightshift,I'll compare the pipes and get back.Could be you saw something I haven't?
