Wanted - MC5 250 exhaust pipe

[Larry Perkins]

You don't seem to understand Dale.  In trying to help Bob I asked a simple question not knowing if he was aware of the fact that the manifolds were different and then someone else said they were the same and that was debated. Now you try to jump me about it and you are off base.  Plus you jump me and only me about it after I said I was done with it.  At least be fair about it. Perhaps you for some reason don't wish to be fair?  I am done with iot.  All that is going on now is me defending my right to ask a question and defend my point of view and not be told to shut up.

My 76 has loop washers not tabs.....

The only difference I have seen are the number of tabs welded to the manifold, I have seen 1 or 2, or whether there are tabs to hold the Springs to the manifold, or if small loop washers bolt to the manifold to hold the springs. The manifold size and how it mounts up to the cylinder are the same on the ones I have had. It is possible that some years are different. Mike

Thanks for the lively discussion gentlemen (and an extra thanks to Mike for going thru this again offline with me at a level that even I could understand).  

Between Gary and Mike, we think we have found an early (76/77) 250 pipe with straight header inlet that will work.  It in two pieces right now, but  - hey - 18 days till my first event.  Plenty of time!
