Thanks guys! It's a x pipe with spintech mufflers. I absolutely love them.

So I had a hiccup with a rocker arm. The tip on the intake broke. I think it was just a mfg defect. My valve springs, pushrods, and valves were all checked again and no issues. Not sure when it happened (before or after dyno) but it was long enough for a groove to wear in. I ended up upgrading to the Yella Terra rocker arms.

Broke!

I've driven the car about 150 miles on the new rocker arms and wheels with no issues. Plan to drive out the rest of this year then do some clean up / small projects over the winter.

I am glad I an not the only one having to redo some stuff and I am happy that your car is back on the road and it looks really good.

Keep updating the thread as I really like this car.

I'm glad there was no other damage other than the rocker. The wheels look great on there, I like them.
Where was the show in CT? It looks like the weather was nice.

The show was caffeine and carburetors its held in down town New Caanan it pulls hundreds of cars. Everything from Pagani, Bugatti, Classics, Modern Porsche, everything. They even had the new De Tomaso P72. Its quite a sight.
