I still haven't replaced the muffler on my '74 MGB (currently it has a
Cherry Bomb Glasspak that doesn't do much). It seems thtat the B
mufflers are kind of expensive ($40 for the muffler and $40 for the
collector box). It seems like you can get mufflers for many four
cylinder cars for about $20-25 at any generic auto parts store. Has
anyone tried the cheap way out of finding one that fits?
Would you say it was successful? Any reason I shouldn't try this?
Also, I am looking into buying an air compressor with an eye towards
painting my car. I am limited by the fact that I live in a rented
townhouse and the garage is only wired for 110 V. Many of the larger
comressors require 220V. Walmart has a 3.5hp 20 gal Cambell Hausfield
compressor for $250 which flows 8.1 cfm @ 40 psi & 6.1 cfm @ 90 psi.
Is this enough for painting and basic tools such as an impact wrench, air
ratchet, etc.? What about sandblasting? Sears has a 4 hp w/25 gal
tank for $300 that also runs on 110V. Are these good deals?
Thanks,
Bob
