Sometimes you have no choice but to use the Borsen joint, which is actually better than the stock knuckle,...if a stock look is what your after, then your going to have to play with the motor mounts, some shimming might help, loosen the box to see if you can "move" it some, or break out the dremel, and elongate the holes to move the box over, or remove and "dimple" the header tube, I've used a peice of oak dowel to place on the offending tube, then hammered the oak, puts a nice "dimple" in the tube without busting up the coating, do this with the header removed and supported

Flaming River has a coupling that I used. Its not as big as the stock piece and will fit manual or power steering. It worked for me, but my set up is a little different than yours. I have: 73 Challenger, stock k-frame (318 car), 426 hemi crate motor, manual steering, schumacher motor mounts, and TTI headers.

Probably cuz they're not using stock pieces, just like your K-frame.

if you are using the pad style motor mounts you can shim the mount. schumacher headers actually come with them, maybe they can sell you just the shims.

what i have seen is that we used spacers on the inside of gear box to frame bolts to offset it for clearance then losen the bolts on the colum inside and slide it over ever so much this will work! do you see it?no feel it? no!! just a thought (cheap fix)

Don't blame TTI, things have to be moved around to make big tube headers fit. Your car is not stock.

In a perfect world they would drop in as claimed , but this isn't a perfect world , I'll use the excuse a certian company used about their NO HACK install .... PRODUCTION TOLERANCES ... plus you have a REPOP K frame . I'll bet TTi blames it on the K ...

Yes they sell the shims separately , I bought a set a couple years ago to make up the difference for what they were selling as a factory big block A body replacement mount that was thinner than the stock mount .

That's one of the things that TTI fails to tell you. Are your motor mounts old? If so the engine is sitting lower than if you had fresh mounts. Quick fix, change the mounts and get a u joint from Flaming River.
i'd also like to add that if you end up using the Flaming River joint you may have to maching it down a bit. if you think you are having problems try putting the TTI's in an early a-body.
