I just can't wrap my head around the idea of sinking $800 into heavy restrictive manifolds to run 15s.
If it comes to that point of expense to just replace manifolds, I'm gonna go buy a new Car that starts out in the 12s and gets 28 mpg.

Show car stuff is expensive. Even dead smog pumps are worth something now.

I've tried selling those manifolds for $50/pair with no takers. I usually just throw smog pumps in the scrap bin.

Yep, I threw my A.I.R Pump and tubes in the trash in 1988. The tubes were Mint. I coulda been Rich now.
at the time I thought I should keep the stuff. But then I thought "What idiot would want to put this junk on their car" lol

My Smog pump was perfect too. Just the diverter valve was bad. I wasn't buying one, so off it all came. I kept the smog shit for about a year too. Got tired of it taking up room for "better" stuff.

For the life of me, I don't know why anyone would restore that smog junk on their car. Get rid of it, it looks like shit.

Get rid of the smog pump, put an A/C pump in its place. The older I get, the more I appreciate A/C.

I'm just pissed I wasn't smart enough to keep the shit. I ripped myself out of a 1000 bux. Even back then I remember the tubes being rusty on every AMC engine I saw. Mine still had a good bit of paint on them and no rust.
I also thru out small car V8 manifolds like a dck too. I thought "who would want to make their car run a full second slower running this junk"
I kept them for about a year too and got tired of looking at them. I figured if my Jav manifolds cracked, I'd go headers.

Hell, selling that junk for a cool G would go a long ways towards buying a Whipple or Vortech pump, if ya' get my drift. I'd much rather have one of those hangin' off my motor.

Yep. I'm retard.
I honestly thought the shit was going to be worth something some day, but got tired of it in the menatime. This was before the net. Nobody ran AMCs in my area
