Friday March 26, 2021 Update: or "I love the smell of old gas in the morning" The hardest part of rebuilding the Holley Blue Electric Fuel pump was removing the screw for the pressure relief valve.  Once it was apart, switching the parts and reassembling was straight forward.  |

Looks like CG will possibly begin the first Friday in May. Glad to hear that!
"Jane" has received all new shocks, dyno tuning, tranny hump bezel repairs, diff freshening up, paint buffing, interior refreshing (carpets, dash facade redone), cam change, and probably some other things I can't remember at the moment.

That sounds like a lot of work Steve. How about an image of Jane? By the way, I just received an e-mail from the owner of American Racing Headers. I was asking... "Will your 70134300HR headers fit the Edelbrock Aluminum Heads (Performer 401) in my 1970 AMC Javelin?" Nick's reply... "Tom,
They absolutely will. Expect a great fit and outstanding performance. Order with confidence. Thanks for inquiring. Respectfully,
Nick Filippides
Owner/Operator
American Racing Headers
Tel. 631-608-1986 nick@americanracingheaders.com
www.americanracingheaders.com"  AMCBB-70134300HR AMC Big Body Headers$1,674.75We're proud to announce that we will be starting production on these
amazing new AMC headers immediately. This header proved to be a bit more
challenging than the run of the mill header, mainly due to the
intricate flange design which requires CNC machining for clearance
around the spark plugs and cylinder head bolts. If you never want to
make another investment in headers, we assure you it just doesn't get any
better than this, and its backed by a lifetime guarantee for quality
and workmanship.

They are the most expensive AMC headers I have found so far, except for custom. If they fit the Edelbrock heads well, that is something to consider. And they are stainless steel. How much have we spent over the years on replacing headers? Has anyone tried these yet? "Our entire product line is made of 304 stainless steel, providing
excellent resistance to corrosion, heat and the elements in any
environment. ARH exhaust systems have been race proven time and time
again with championships to show it!"

Yeah, $1700 is a lot . But the big tube Hookers cost $600+, are mild steel and painted black, the port fit sucks, they may or may not fit a 68-9 on the RH side... Add in ceramic coating and you're around $1K before you do any work on them- and maybe they'll fit. And there is no way I'd buy these already coated because they won't be ready to go, at least to my standards, out of the box. So yeah, the ARH are not cheap, and I have no experience with them, but if they're awesome and ready to install out of the box, then it's not a bad deal. And I've never heard a complaint about them

I believe that there might be a real value to these stainless steel American Racing Headers 70134300HR, if they fit well with the Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads/dog leg exhaust port. Stainless steel lasts a long time, Elon Musk builds his rocket ships for Mars out of stainless steel. The owner Nick Filippides seems like a stand up guy and I would like to make a detailed High Definition video documenting the installation into the Orange Juice Javelin at my friends local exhaust shop, Richard's Performance Muffler. Nick also wrote "Many have come to the realization
that our headers cost more for rock solid reasons. Besides the fact
that they’re all 304 stainless and 100% USA made, we’ve really gone the
extra mile to correct all the inherent problems that have plagued other
offerings for almost 5 decades. Horrible port
alignment, low ground clearance, thin flanges that warp and blow
gaskets, to name a few, is what others are selling. We eliminated that
from the equation and many AMC enthusiasts have taken notice."

If they fit with no issues then they’re worth every penny and more, plus they will last. My only concerns would be discoloration of the stainless and underhood heat, but that’s true of any SS header.

 I found this WWI helmet in the shed so I restored it, pretty cool huh?  Update: Since the Patriot headers are out of stock according to Speedway Motors, I am trying to get a refund. I am really looking hard at these American Racing Headers. I just noticed this video of the owner Nick on the American Racing Headers website. In the video Nick says they fit great with Edelbrock aluminum heads. And he has a nice cat in the video too. Tom
