It is an old Berg system, I found a NOS setup after a couple years of searching, I used to run these in the early 80's and they seem to fit the best. I have never found another one as good, although I have seen some old S&S that looked about the same.

Thanks I sold a car with an S&S last year.

I have the Berg header, need Quiet Packs!

Damn they are hard to find.

When I was at Bergs around 5 years ago they still had the jigs, boxes and all the pipe work for the single and dual quiet packs. I said to Dee there would be interest in them if they made another batch. Maybe we should all start emailing them Smiley

I don't plan on selling this car but if I ever did the header and mufflers wouldn't go with it, that's for sure....

I had the wrong wires, wrong heat range plugs (had 9 needed 7), and the wrong gap, was way to wide, mags like  a smaller gap....besides that it was fine.. LOL. I bought a set of wires from Joe Hunt also and it fired right up, I have the timing set better now and it is very responsive.
