Doug's are nice but the Headman have thicker flanges and a heavyer gauge tube...

Angled plugs narrow the choices a bunch, as does increasing primary size from 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" to 2". Lots of choices in 1 3/4" with straight plugs, as I suspect most were designed a long time ago for the OEM layout.
There's some good info in the Tech Archive - in the BB section, IIRC - including Summit's return rates on various brands & part #s.

I put Hedmans in a 71 Challenger w/ 440 and Edelbrock angled heads. Did not clear the stock power steering unit without some banging. Also had to dimple to clear the drivers torsion bar. Had to dimple one of the passenger pipes to get a standard length spark pug in (#6 I think). Never been a big fan of the ball/socket outlet instead of a flange, but they seem to seal ok.

Good Luck

I have had Hedman and TTI's on my 63 bigblock. These are the Hedman 1-3/4 tubes. Nice flanges about 3/16 thick. These are the Elite headers which are nice. Ron

These are 2" TTI's. 1/4" thick flanges and much better header all around. In fact TTI's are the best header I have ever used. Ron

The TTI's. The TTI's have a thicker flange and are a better header but dont get me wrong as the Hedman's worked fine for me. The Hedman's were on my 63 for 5 years and never leaked or blew a gasket out. Ron
