Update

So I've J-B Welded the keyway and installed my new pulley. Everything is working well so far.
I also got myself a very nice 85 Vanagon GL for $350 . Sweet. Engines blowing black smoke but come on 350?! Bodies way better than my Wolfalia. I'm going to have a nice bus out of the two of them.

and my muffler was shot, horrible, dangerous.
So I head down to Pep Boys...
Find out they still sell the "Cherry Bomb" ($23) mufflers. A few adapters, clamps and viola! rumbly much quieter situation with no leaks I got rid of my Cat but I live in Indiana for now. I made sure if I move to an inspection state I can bolt up a cat and a muffler.
Picking up the shocks tomorrow a.m. from NAPA. Hope that goes just as well. I'll post pics later.
