As a kid remember many long hours hanging out at the corner speed shop,,,Speedway Motors,,,some of you may have known early employees Jerry Jantzen, Marti Bassett, Johnny Marsh, and of course Speedy Bill Smith(who passed a couple of months ago). He left quite a legacy particularly in circle track racing early on before anyone knew much about it,,,and of course one of, if not the largest(Summit?) automotive speed and high performance parts suppliers in the world. Certainly influenced my later life and my love of old cars and making them go fast and look good.

Ron I used to love going to Coleman Brothers Speed Shop. I remember having to wait/stand in line because they were so busy. Yep those were the days.

I was told the ticking sound is not an exhaust leak, but a byproduct of the firing order. That same person told me you won't hear that when using the TTI's. He told me Doug's are cheap headers and the TTI's are better. He runs a Mopar shop here in CO and has been in business for 30 years or so.

The good old days. Ron I used to love going to Coleman Brothers Speed Shop. I remember having to wait/stand in line because they were so busy. Yep those were the days. Yes I remember Coleman Bros and Earl Beck's speed shop also. Here near me in north east Balt county we have one speed shop left. Thats Md Performance owned by Tom Vanpopel and he has been around a long time. He has very competitive prices with Jegs and Summit as I guess he had to so he could keep his shop going. I prefer to buy from him because I usually dont have to wait for parts and if I do he dont charge shipping and its close to my home. But I dont know of any other in my area.

TTI's are stepped and cost a little more.

I run a 143 tooth flywheel with a steel can and the Doug's D-452 headers fit perfectly. I just needed to remove the grease fitting from my pitman arm and put a few notches in the flange of my bell.
