Re: [FWDLK] 2bbl dual exhaus

[Scott H <kneedrager@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also have a 56 Custom Royal with a 2bbl and dual exhaust.  I  cant say if
it is original or not.  One thing I did notice is that there is a heat
shield on the right side between the muffler and the passenger side floor.
There is no heat shield on the left.  I figured the duals were added later
on. Does yours have dual heat dhields as well?
