Are they supposed to fit without troubles or they all need a lot of massaging like mine ? THey still are hitting the steering column and the the lower part of the steering box near the K member........is this normal for this set up ? Daniel

They hit the truck motor mounts on the engine (I slightly ground off the ears) and the end of the idler arm (slight dent in right header). Didn't hit the steering column or box. My cars are manual steering.

When I tell you that they "fell" in, I'm telling you that they didn't even have a scratch on them when I was finished. I did put a manual steering box in it tho.. Oh yeah, I ordered the headers for a late A body... 76' Volare, 5.9 magnum w/Iron heads. New best 10.68 at 123 mph 1/4 mile.

Anonymous Unregistered A	on my 318 in my m body the headers hit on the wheel well on the pass side. i cut out a section of the inner fender and made a new panel that bubbled out towards the wheel a little bit. fits great now. i had to dent one of my tubes to get it to fit with my power steering on my fifth ave.

Oh yeah, I ordered the headers for a late A body... I've got those same hedmans in my 5th ave, fit no problem. I did tweak one pipe slightly on the drivers side, as it was awefully close to the starter. summits I think are made by flowtech, but same design, except the hedmans have a 1/4" flange, the flowtech/hooker/dynomax/summits all have 5/16". and the new hedmans have a ball collector. if you're hitting the steering, make sure your engine mounts are good and not sagging, or try shim underneath them to bring the motor up a skoash? 1976 Spinnaker White Plymouth Duster, /6 A833OD 1986 Silver/Twilight Blue Chrysler 5th Ave HotRod SOLD!* 2011 Toxic Orange Dodge Charger R/T 2017 Grand Cherokee Overland 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude (holy crap, my daughter is driving)
