On the 68 coronet,I had my muffler guy weld strips of 3/8ths steel on them (heated and formed to go up the tubes slightly) to make a skid plate of sorts. The best fitting headers were some(old) doug thorleys that are on my BB in the charger,D

Mine is later than yours, but I saved for the TTIs for my 360 and couldn't be happier. Never scrapes, went right on, starter comes on and off without touching a thing, fat flanges, no leaks.... Worth saving the month or three that I had to because now it's done.

Anyone else have this problem, specifically on an A or B-body? And have replaced their headers with another brand that works well besides the TTI's, and Doug's, etc????
For what it's worth I installed the cheapy Summit headers on my A body smallblock and have decent clearance. I have not scraped anywhere. I purposely drove over some rather large speed bumps in a parking lot a couple of weeks ago just to see if they would scrape, and they didn't. I have never measured the clearance but it looks to be around 7 inches or so.

If you want I could measure grd to fender lip and then grd to lowest part of header. I have 26" tires on my Charger but they may be less with the weight of it over them.
Hey if you have time, that'd be great. I will get measurements on mine too. May take me an extra day or so to post back the results but thanks for the help :

We had the cheap Sumits on the 66 Charger.It had 14s on the frt.Never had clearance problems.If a B body sits that low with 26 inch tall tires the Tbars have to be wound way down.Rocky
