Fellow Spitsters,
I just finished installing a Monza exhaust system and header on my '76
Spit. It is definitely louder than the original equipment!! However, I
have some questions.
1. When backing off the throttle during a shift I get backfiring. Is
this indicative of timing or carburetor tuning?
2. When at idle, or even at cruise, a lot of noise seems to be coming
from the engine compartment, as if the header had a leak. I have
inspected for same and been unable to find any leaks. Is this normal due
to the seemingly thinner construction of the header? The header is
welded to the exhaust pipe, so it is not a gasket problem there.
Also, has anyone any experience using the Coverlay Dash pad cover?
Results? comments?
TIA
Cheers,
