After a great deal of reading and planning, i thought my SSI installation would have gone smoothly.
I recently purchased a pair of thick flange, SSI that were new old stock. I was reassured they were correct for a stock 82 SC. I went through the oil line install no real issues I could not tackle. However when I went to install the SSI's they would only go up about flush with the studs and the flanges. So I took some measurements, my port sizes are 38.60mm, the belled portion of the SSI's above the flange averaged about 39.50mm.
I believe the two SSI part numbers are 484122 and 434646
So I have a few ideas, shrink the tubing or other thoughts?
Thank you for your assistance.
