Is whc03grady still in need of '72-'74 heat exchangers?

Good to know, his posts in this thread didn't seem to indicate whether his quest had ended or not.

Say "hi" for me when you see him. :bounce:

Sorry for the lack of closure.
He secured '72-'74-style heat exchangers from some place in Arizona some months ago.

Pretty sure I got the better end of the bargain. Thanks again, Geoff. To keep it technical, what side of the fence is everyone on regarding exhaust fasteners. I live in the wet Puget Sound climate so I ALWAYS use stainless steel fasteners (with anti-seize of course). I've seen the copper nuts, but it appears these are used with standard zinc plated bolts. Is this a better choice than stainless steel? If so, why?

I use SS bolts and nuts but remember they break pretty easy if you over tighten them. I am pretty happy not to be storing em finally....too many car parts!

I like to double up on the copper seals, heat them up cherry red, let 'em cool slowly. that softens 'em up so they can give a good crush seal. hold first ring in place with bearing grease, the second with aviation permatex. Not much, just enough to hold 'em up while you wiggle the h/e in. also put anti seize on both ends of the stud, I'd rather have the stud come out of the head than extract a snapped one.
