Mazda parts

I have a set of 15x7 Wheels for a 1st gen. Will fit all but gsl-se. They are black mesh design with polished alluminum ring. Asking $400 for all with tires. If you drive like I do they will last through the summer. Rims are in great shape. Sorryn no pictures of them. Anyone interested email me at jjbrozak@hotmail.com. I have a whole garage full of parts so if you need something else, just ask. I also have a 12a header that got used for about 100 miles. Want $75 for it. Thanks,
Jason

If it's the header from VB (Monza/Pacesetter header) it's not worth its weight in scrap metal. It's been dyno-tested to lose power over the stock manifold.

I hear ya rant and wimper about this all the time. WIll you please tell me the link that shows this "fact"? Do you know the conditions of the test? A dyno test in a 90F degree day at 7000Ft would not show very unscewed results. What else, was this with stock exhuast after the header? I know for a fact, the pace setter on my '88 SE made a huge difference in high end acceration. SO unless you have more then testimonal, you need to back your claim better then its scrap. No flaming intended. All my own tests show otherwise on my car.

We ran a Mikuni with the Monza header I'm selling. It was a 79 with an open rear dif, stock motor, and we ran between 15.9 and 16.2 with that set up. I have never tested the Mikuni on the stock manifold so I have nothing to compare it too. I have an 83 with the same set up except I have racing beat header and pre-silencer, etc and ran a best time to date of 15.5. Its a gsl so I do have the limited slip. My point is some motors are tighter than others. The Monza header is not much different shape than the racing beat. I cant believe that you would lose power by adding it.

What are you looking for and I'll tell you if I have it. If I dont, there is a good chance I know where to get it. For example, I had a gsl-se 6-port with a delorto carb and racing beat header. I had know idea if it ran or not but I sold it with a rust free 79 for $800. The 79 had no motor. I do have a stock 12a with only 70k on it. That one wont be cheap. Right now its my back up motor. I have interior parts, starters, alternators, stock carbs, like I said, let me know what you want and I'll tell you if I have it.
