Anyone know where to get the 'exhaust elbow'

Part F

Bus boys wants 150 bucks, which for what it is, is a lot.

Thank you, fellow enthusiast.

Glad to be of help. It will almost assuredly be the JP brand which is what everyone is selling these days. I have one on my '78 and it looks as good over a year later as it did the day I put it on.

Mine has developed a leak at the outer seam. I can patch it with muffler cement and that works for about a month. For a short term rig that cement works pretty well.

I'll double check, but I definitely want the middle one. It might have to wait until the weekend but I might take all 3 off of ya. Need to chip the ice off of the garage door and go scooting around under there.

Why aren't you using them?

Collection of spare parts. Spring cleaning. The bottom piece is the CAT eliminator pipe, (test pipe).

The elbow has an O2 bung. Never used. A spark plug will block it off if you don't use an O2 sensor. I run with an A/F gauge. I had a muffler store put a bung on this elbow, the Monza exhaust and the Bugpack header that's on the Bus. No bung on the Bugpack header listed in the ads but is included.

I have the 75-78 OE set up that gets used for a coupla days during smog testings. So every two years I take off the header/muffler and install the OE stuff. Get a smog. Reinstall the header and put the OE stuff back on the shelf until next time.

My latest move is that I found a 79-83 Fed crossover pipe. This will allow me to use the 72-74 HE's on the Bus with a T-Bird style header. At smog time, I'll remove the header and use the Fed crossover pipe with a CAT/Muffler. It also allows the EGR, which I need for the smog test/visual.

And the band played on...
