Did all the 1966 A code cars (non-GT) come from the factory with dual exhaust or was single exhaust possible?

 

i belive single was standard and dual was optional

 

Thanks...I have what appears to be a very original A code vert and it has a single exhaust.

 

are you guys saying the car came from the factory wit a 4 barrel carb and a single line exhaust?

 

that is what I am trying to find out...

It is clearly an A code with all the original power train. The undercarriage is original but has single exhaust. That is my question, is it standard with an A code to have a single exhaust or was dual exhaust standard or just an option?

 

Does anyone have an A code car that they know came with single exhaust for sure?

 

i have a bone stock car, a code, untouched, 4bbr 289, with dual exhaust coming out the rear valance, pony interior, etc,..

 

Dual exhaust was an option on non-GT V8's, and it came standard with the GT package.

 

Pop the back seat out and look for the small rectangular reinforcing plates for the hangers used by the dual exhaust. If they are there the car came from the factory with duals. It's the rectangular part with the two round stud heads not the whole area.

 

I will pull the seat and check. I talked today with the previous owner who bought the car in 1984 and sold it to me this year. He said that he never did anything to the car and that the exhaust on it was there when he bought it 24 years ago. I will pull the seat and check for the hanger. I have got to ask...is it possible that the hanger plate you refer to was standard on all cars but that no actaul hanger was used on the cars w/o the dual option? If not, then your advise to look for this plate will be the sure fire way of determining if it came with duals...thanks. I will let you know.
