Header help
Hey guys,
Im getting ready to purchase new headers for my 65 442 clone, 425 BB. The ones in it now have been dented to clear the steering arm and still rub a bit. Im hoping that spending some money on the correct headers will eliminate this. Any suggestions for good fitting headers?

Usually Hookers fit well. My brother has them in a 64 Cutlass with 455.

The 65-67 A body are a pain for headers! They always need some kind of mod, either by dimpling or grinding on the passenger side upper a-frame mount.
