61 Olds Dual Exhaust Question

[KQQLCAT]

Has anyone put the dual exhaust drivers side manifold from a 64 Starfire on an Olds with the automatic column selector? I am looking at how the manifold exits and it looks like it might be close to the selector on the steering column. I would like to talk to someone before I dig into this.

Thanks

No, I haven't. But my question for you is why don't you just use the stock '61 manifold that you have?

It won't work with 2 1/4" exhaust. I put the other manifold on and all is good now.

Hi Pat

Did the LH dual exhaust manifold work on the car with column shifter?

I am thinking of putting it on my 63 olds 98 conv that has a column shifter,I know it works on floor shifter cars as my custom sport coupe it is a standard option.

Thanks Steve

Yes it fits perfectly. You have to jack the engine up quite a bit to get it in but it fit quite well.

Could you show me a picture of the exhaust as I have been trying to work out how to put twin exhaust on my 62 Dynamic 88 with colum change.

First you have to find a 64 Starfire exhaust manifold for the drivers side. Not an easy task.

It is not necessary to put a '64 Starfire manifold on to run duals on a '62. The factory used the same manifolds for single and dual exhaust in '61 and '62. It is all in the pipe routing (and a cap on the passenger side).
