I think TTI makes a header that fits a low deck in an A body. After basically ruining a set of TTI's trying to make them fit my SR headed 440 Cuda, I put my Hooker fenderwells back on.

Did you get the early, original PP with the two inch primarys or the later ones that Bob Mazzolini had TTI make with the Pro Parts jigs? Mine are the 2 inch originals, not the CPPA that Hedman made or the later ones They hit the standard starter and the mini starter, the oil pan, even after flattening the one pipe some This is a stock 383 with 906 heads on the stock 1969 OEM mounts in a 1969 GTS No sense in lying or misleading on these headers, there not made anymore I'm going to put EGT bungs in them and use them for dyno testing from now on Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Wow i must of got lucky then becasue my tti fit my 73 dodge dart great. did not have to beat on any tubes to get them to fit.But i had two places i had to watch. one was i am using the flaming river steel steering box. It had a rib on one side of the box i had to grind on a little to clear one tube and i had to install a plug on my pit-man arm grease plug. also if you are still using the factory 71 steering set up aka pit man arm/ drag link etc switch it out for the steering set up out of a 73 disc brake and up abody.

But i do feel for your delemer, i have an E body that i will never cut but with a wider engine bay, header options are much better. 7342531-11-08-09_21121.jpg (52 downloads)
