What exhaust gaskets do you run on the bus?

They look like this. I put a small amount of never-sieze on the sealing surfaces and it keeps them from sticking -- re-usable over and over.

Well.... since some of you more opinionated folks have chastised me, ridiculed me, and basically insulted my intelligence because I use a Bosch 009..... :x

I gave in to peer pressure and picked up an 010.

Happy now??? :redguy:

I know that, your heavy bus is a great test of what a good advance curve can do for performance. I recently remapped my ignition map, before i had a lazy advance curve with max adv at 3000, i redid it to come all on at 2500 and holy crap the motor loves it.

I'll run points for a little while, then switch over to Pertronix.
