69 exhaust extensions
The subject of 69 exhaust extensions came up in another thread and it got me thinking about them. There seems to be a concensus here that 69 exhaust tips (a concensus I was part of) were GTOmanual trans only owing to them being 2.25" and all A body tailpipes with the exception of manual trans goats (regardless of engine) had 2" tailpipes.
This seemed strange because all the factory literature such as the order books shows no such restriction. So I looked it up in a 1970 MPC and low and behold two different part numbers (verbatim from MPC):
69 G.T.O. - M. T. 9797245 $8.84 EXTENSION, pipe 2 (quantity)
69 T/6 - T/8 exc S.W. or G.T.O. M.T. 9797013 $8.84 EXTENSION, pipe AR (quantity as required)
Looks like no one repros this part, wonder why? You'd think they'd sell piles of them.
