I'm using the Pro Parts headers. This is my second set in about 30+ years. Original set we got thru Herb McCandless,new set thru Bob Mazzolini. The new Pro Parts style are made for Bob by TTI. They are very nice quality and better tubing.

If you run the hedman fender well headers don't you also run into tire clearance issues where a taller tire will hit plus you can't make Sharp turns without them rubbing. I'm not sure just asking



Yes we have them on a Aussie A Body and they rub before you get to full lock, not real big problem on a part time street/drag car.

Headman



My buddy's car had a set just like those on his dart back in the late 70s, called, Headers by Ed, fit better than the hookers and more tire clearance. Changed plugs from underneath

FWIW I have used Pro Parts and TTI BB A body headers and IMO they both leave a lot to be desired. IMO it is worth they expense of getting headers built.

What I have tested, the Hookers are good for tq but limit peak power somewhat, the primaries are extremely long. TTI's are a pain, there really isn't room for underchassis headers, never used the Hedmans, have built my own fenderwells. The shock towers can be chopped and the top ends of the shocks moved outside for a little more room, and pushing the firewall a little back behind the wheels gives you enough room not to limit the tire size.

I've got that kit to build 2" headers, Bill. I don't know if they'd be any good but we can try something. You want them between the frame rails, all the same length tubes, good clearance for easy spark plug removal and easy to get the bolts out...in an A Body? Sounds easy.

I have to remove my engine plate to get the headers off in my new small tire car. Those STOCK firewall rules make things tough. LOL At least he was able to weld the collectors on so I don't have to buy those silly cable systems.

We usually have to make a wrench for the plugs but otherwise they are somewhat pain free. Slip on collectors and install and removal is easy
