This guy from the Sacramento Mopar club was clearing out some stuff. " Hey, you want these Hedman Headers? They are new but don't fit power steering " "Sure. Free is my favorite price." I checked the part #. 78050. The instruction sheet I read online listed that they actually DO fit power steering cars. The car: 73 Dart Sport 340. The 340 was long gone so I put in a 4 barrel 360. These Headman pipes hit everything. The right side is a no brainer in most cases but not with this car. The idler hits. The pipes hit the torsion bar. The pipes rest against the oil pan. I'm going to have to pull them for some serious "clearancing". The left side actually seems like a better fit. I'll know more tomorrow. I hate spending the big bucks on TTIs or Dougs, but that extra money sure saves a bunch of cussing and tool throwing.

Ran into the same thing on my 68 Dart... Headers suck, but I wasn't going to spend $200+ on the correct manifolds....

I've been wanting to get some headers for my '73 318 Dart aswell for some time but never got the guts to break out the wallet and end up paying for 1 or 2 days of misery trying to install them. I already get claustrofobic when I look into the Dart's enginebay... Fortunatly a set of shorty headers came up for sale recently which I snatched up along with a 4bbl intake. By eyeballing the enginebay and the shorties I think I have a much easier time installing these then a set of full length headers.

"They ended up smashed flat from frustration and pure wrath!" Bet they still didn't fit. To the OP, I bet if you try to return the headers there will be a re stocking fee.

Here's the trick to get your Heddman's to fit. I've installed three sets in small block A-Bodies and they ALL needed these mounts. You need the thick big block truck insulators pictured.
