67 427 side exhaust hardware
Question about the correct hardware for the rear mounting of side exhaust.
There is a discrepancy / omission between the AIM and the 67 TIMJG and I believe the AIM is correct. The AIM clearly shows a washer on the top of the stack referred to as #10 in the diagram. This is actually a washer with a tube that the rubber bushings fit over and I believe it is used to prevent the over-compression of the bushings? Feel free to correct me. My car did not have this top washer, but it came with the replacement Garner exhaust.
Page 202 of the 8th edition JG reads:
"a rubber bushing is used on the top and bottom of this flange [exhaust mount] with a matching diameter washer on the bottom of the lower bushing. It is retained with a lock washer and cadmium or zinc plated 9/16" hex head nut".
In my case there was also a flat washer under the lock washer so that is incorrect. However the question remains about the top washer/tube. I also believe that the number of threads exposed is due to over-compression of the rubber bushing that would have been prevented if the correct top washer had been used.
