The '75-'76 heat exchangers were different from the earlier years. The SS exhchangers are available for either 2.0 muffler or 1.7/1.8 muffler. The difference being the 2.0 pipes are straight at the end and the 1.7/1.8 have a bend up. Plus, the distance between mounting points, once installed, is different.
Look at your SS exchangers to see what kind they are - straight = 2.0 and bend = 1.7/1.8. You will then have to get the appropriate muffler to match. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

The pipes you bought are for a '74. Your car came with a different type. Many folks choose to replace the late type with early units, but that requires a nimber of other parts to be changed, including the muffler and the muffler hanger, as well as misc. heater tin. I have some pretty nice late type HEs for sale.
