I need some tech help from anyone with an original 78-79 L-82 exhaust system or if you have information on the correct plating of the Walker exhaust clamps. I'm finishing up a restoration on my 20,000 mile 79 Corvette and the only thing still to complete is the exhaust. The original GM pipes and mufflers are in exhalant condition being the car was never rain driven but the clamps had lost there plating. Only one of the original clamps was not rusted and appeared to have a gold iridite finish. I have the NCRS judging manual for 78-79 but it does not specify what the finish should be.If you have this information please E mail Dave at LSL505@aol.com
