Does the exhaust pipe for pre-'54 216/235 compared to the '54-and-later 235 have a slightly different bend below the exhaust manifold. In other words, is the angle of the down pipe on a 216 exhaust manifold different from the angle on the downpipe on a later 235/261?
I am asking this because I have bought exhaust pipes from mail/phone/internet vendors (who no longer sell them). And 2 out of 3 times they sent me exhaust pipes that did not match up with the angle of the manifold.
If I had a good local exhaust system builder in my area, I would have them make the exhaust system. Note: the dual-exhaust system from Jim Carter also did not work with a stock 4-speed or Hydra-Matic transmission ('54 or earlier 1/2 ton trucks).
