Rear resonator hanger location on 66

Post by jrusso07 »

I am putting a spare 2000 exhaust on my 66 1600. The rear resonator has a mounting tab but the 66 doesn’t have the mount. Where does the normal (twin pipe) resonator mount to the car?

Mine has a threaded hole on the front of the rear crossmember. I used a right angle bracket to hold my 2L megaphone.

I have the same setup on my ‘69. The mounting point is 1.5” to the left of the gas tank mounted on the back crossmember.

This hanger was mounted in front of the axle on early cars.

67.5 to 70 front hanger for resonator.

The early resonator used a rubber Z block attached to the frame and an L bracket.

I can't recall what the rear resonator mount for the megaphone was.
66 stroker, almost done.
67 basket case, paint coming soon.
