aka Prince Valiant
I wasent talking huge duals but something alont the lines of 1 7/8 or 2" unmuffled or some small glasspacks. Unmuffled, it will sound like a 60's Jag...
Time to get started.

Thank you wylde1, I washed the top, Hood and deck lid, then stopped for a play time with Buddy, then the two sides and wheel and tires.
She is back in her nest for some detail finishing to the throttle and battery tray8)
And making sure it won't give me any surprises when I drive her to the muffler shop.:happy10::happy10:
She sure was a dust bunny :-D

Yall have to remember, I do not have a vice and shop so I do what I can that will work and be reliable 8) I will drive her to Small Block's one day and take some of my home made parts off to get smoothed out and blasted for paint and clean things up, including the throttle bracket and retainer I cut out of some parts I have here, No new holes was drilled except one for the gas peddle, even the breather system is mounted to the holes that the battery tray was bolted to so there is no show quality work dun here :happy10:just reliability 8)and easy to remove to grind smooth and prep for paint
I have my Throttle system felling good and secure and I put two short pipes on with flanges to get the hot air off the intake for the short drive to the muffler shop, It look's good with the hood shut :-D and the engine is getting cool air. I know it may look like I am cutting corners but it's all going to run and look nice in the long run.

Sure is nice to see Victoria all spiffed up Mike and good idea with the pipes,we all do and make do what we can with what we have.I,m sure my car will be picked apart by Mopar critics,but I,m happy with what I,ve done in the past 6 months:cheers:Now get some exhaust on the beauty!LOL:-D
Thank you petty, I sure do miss driving her and can't wait to get the exhaust on
so I can quit driving the truck everywhere.
It's a short 6 or 7 mile drive to 3 stare muffler and they have a perfect stainless rectangular exhaust tip there waiting for me. 6 1/2'' X 2''
She should love the fresh air breather system and the less restricted exhaust system with a little more air and gas heading in the 390 Holley compared to the factory one barrel .

Mike, if you don't mind me inquiring, where did you get your wiring harness and how much did you have to fork over for it?
I need to find a wiring harness for my conversion.
I ain't quite sure if she is all that pretty yet DRENO :-D
But as soon as I get her all piped up and can drive her I will start removing one peace at a time for grinding and smoothing sanding the home made part's for paint. and cover my throttle keeper with a neat cover.
So far all the new system is working real good and smooth :-D
I was lucky and found mine on e-bay a member found and let me know about it, It all came as a KIT :happy10: everything was new in a box that you see in this picture, I think I got it all for $85.
Are you doing a slant Matt ?
What part's are you needing? You can go to a salvage yard and pull the ecu plug and distributor and wire harness, Or I can keep an eye on e-bay for you a complete kit, Let me see if I can find a wiring diagram for you, it's an easy update, It took me maybe an hour to do if that long with the help of this great site :happy10:

Nice job Mike. The breather box doesn't look half bad either and almost belongs there with the way you set it up. Nice way to use new MaMopar parts in old Vicky.
Thank you Dave :cheers: I seen ramcharger's Jeep 4.0 build and had him put a tape measure on the breather system and it was a perfect fit for fresh air
So I picked that breather up on e-bay, I am glad you approve :cheers: When I get the pipes on I will put the soap to everything under the hood and it should look much better, It seems to work real good and that is what I was looking for :cheers: Thank you Dave :happy10:
Victoria's up and running the street's again :cheers:
2'' off the manifolds and 2 1/4 from the Y pipe to a factory muffler 8)

Time for me to dial in and you give me a 6 second tree before you leave and I bet we would be close in an 1/8 mile :-D
When I drove her home it's like the hill's did not bother her at all like it use to
I have a few more thing's to do, Tac needs installed first thing :happy10:
Then a new oil change. and more :-D
I did type it out but I backed up like a wimp :-D You are right she deserves a hell yea :cheers: Thank you DRENO That did feel good :cheers:

Awesome news!!! First I see Scott's roadbound, and now Victoria is too ... what a great day! :-D
Ya'll sound like an episode of Home Improvement with all that "more power!" All we need is some good grunting now.
Way to go!

Congratulations, this is a big milestone! I hope someday you will make a video, 'Let's go for a drive in Victoria' it would be the #1 video on FABO.
I think the single exhaust with the slight turndown looks sooo right. Victoria is a discreet lady, she would never be gaudy.

Looking good. Cruise on memike...cruise on.
Great pics memike and congrats on getting Victoria back on the road 8).
I wish I new how to type out a Tim Tailor grunt for you this morning :-D I think it's to cool we got our 66'es on the road on the same day, Scott's 66 is a monster =P~
I almost went with a true dual system but I think that the 2 2'' down pipes and a 2 1/4 exhaust is just what she wanted for her little 170 ci. Thank you goldfish I am trying to keep her lady like and I can hear the wind beneath her wings :love7:
Time for a road trip after a fluid change and check the gas millage on her know, I need to get ramcharger's tac hooked up he gifted me with so I don't over rev her, I put it to the mat and she is moving so much quicker =P~
Thank you sister C :happy10:
I can't believe how she takes on a paved tall hill know that I drive to get home, I use to have to put the peddle down a bit to keep my speed and she don't even feel it know, opening the exhaust and adding that little 390 holley on the offey intake was a good match for the factory cam.
Grumpus, 66aCUDA and Charrley_s was right :cheers: It sure opened her up and running shhmoooth =P~
