exhaust performance question

Here's a question for ya. Would there be any performance faults if I have a long tube header on the right side and an exhaust manifold on the left?

Why would you want to do that? It probably would have some performance problems with having different amounts of backpressure on each side.

A vacuum gauge might show a wiggle like burnt valves with that setup. It might sound a bit strange also. I would think that it would be difficult to tune the carb idle circuits also.

I just haven't had time to do the other side and wanted to know what trouble this would cause for the time being. Thanks All!

I'm just curious as to why you'd be doing that?

THe drivers side left is easyer to bolt in so you might as well just finish it. There wouldent be any problems running a mixed setup if you had to.

headers

Finished the left side! You were right, the left is MUCH easier than the right. I forgot to mention the rust, all the bolts had to be cut to get the manifolds off due to rust. It wasn't a big deal-just very time consuming.

Well, the engine is still acting up. I plugged the EGR-no difference, remeved the plug-no difference. It likes to hesitate and jump, I read somewhere to advance the timing to 2-3* After. Should I just turn the distributor or go through the computer??? I also had to remove the front driveshaft. Looks like it may clear the collector, but right now I'm just tired of working on it

Found the problem! It's like they say, "timing is everything". I just had to break it loose with a sledge hammer and a cresent wrench
