You got the same present for your Rex as I did though I have the Watts links since it came with the whole kit. I still need to get the rubber stuff for that.

Actually, I really need a 12a stock manifold and a rest pedal! When I punched my cats out I broke a dang stud off. Also, when I purchased my car it didn't have the nice foot rest pedal beside the clutch pedal. I didn't realize how useful that thing is until it's gone.

Please PM me.

I wish everyone a wonderful happy holiday!

God Bless!

Things for XLR8's 7:

"Actually, I really need a 12a stock manifold and a rest pedal! When I punched my cats out I broke a dang stud off. Also, when I purchased my car it didn't have the nice foot rest pedal beside the clutch pedal. I didn't realize how useful that thing is until it's gone."

Hey XLR8, thanks for the request. I do have a spare foot rest, just removed it from the parts car I'm stripping. PM me your mailing address and I'll get it right out.

I also have a spare stock manifold but like yours it has a stud broken off. This can be retapped, can't it? That's why I was holding on to the one I have.

Also with everyone putting headers on, there must be a zillion stock headers out there, can anyone help XLR8 (if he pays the shipping)?

A painted engine fan (aluminum) and fan shroud (semi-gloss black). Maybe the intake plenum (aluminum with semi-gloss letters) if it stops raining.
