James some answers to your questions: >1) What does "assembly" paste do? Is it worth using? > I assume you mean that exhaust jointing compound in a tube. I got a tube of Unipart silicate white stuff with my system from Rimmers. It seals the joints but makes it hard to get it apart again, like when I pulled the differential. I could not get the back section free and had to take it apart at the front box.
>2) I want to wrap the 4-2-1 manifold with exhaust wrap to improve engine >bay and cockpit heat, any tips, advice, downpoints? > It definitely helps keep the heat down, especially into the carbs. Make sure you have a good heat shield. Also put it on, with the header (manifold) off the car. Near impossible once it's on. >3) I'm going to need to change the needles in my twin HS4s, currently the >only mod on my car are K&Ns - what do I need once I have the Bell system >in place. > I have similar set up with the Rimmer quiet sports exhaust with 4-2-1 header and I think am running AAQ needles. I have K&N with twin HS4 and I have the high compression version (US '76) so very similar to your potential setup and I am pretty happy with it. Saying that, I replaced did everything at once so have no idea of individual affects. Never tried with the old needles that were in the carbs as I rebuilt with new jets and needles.
