It would still bolt up to the engine but none of the tin, Elbows and pipes will hook to anything. I had to plug most of the air outlets and have no heat just to run the Abarth. It is cool looking but still no heat. Ahh the price of being cool. <BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt; That's funny. I thought this muffler was just a bit high. They rust out<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt; and<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt; have to be replaced, and they are no longer made. Maybe they last a lot<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt; longer<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt; in Arizona.<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt;<BR>

&gt;&gt; I agree they need replacement but they appear on eBay very frequently for<BR>

&gt;&gt; $100 or less, without the tailpipes.<BR>

&gt;<BR>

&gt;That one was a very early one, with the integral upper heat <BR>

&gt;exchangers. They are quite scarce, and I don't have a single one of <BR>

&gt;them. It was also for a single carb car, which puts it in another <BR>

&gt;minority. Plus it included the damper and tailpipe.<BR>

&gt;<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; Since we are on the subject of long-running ads, I would pay good money<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; to find this part:<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt;<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt;<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt; When was that one used? Yes, the rubber/plastic on all of those seems to<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt; break<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt; down. I suspect this has a lot to do with rear doors that aren't aligned<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt; well,<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt; or bodies that are out of line due to crash damage.<BR>

&gt;&gt; &gt;<BR>

&gt;&gt; Up to 1966 for the early style.  I have several NOS ones in the later<BR>

&gt;&gt; style if someone wanted to trade.  It is uncommon to find one with the<BR>

&gt;&gt; rubber intact.<BR>

&gt;<BR>

&gt;Will the late one work in an early car? Could you just cut off that <BR>

&gt;extra tang? I'm just wondering how important the difference is, or is <BR>

&gt;this just part of the desire to get everything "right," which I <BR>

&gt;totally understand.<BR>

&gt;<BR>

&gt;I think John Jaranson was looking for a good one for his '66.<BR>
