Sorry not the best photos . On the driver side the last 2 spark plug wires I run heat sleeves .The pipe is real close to the plugs because these are made to fit A B E F universal Mopars. They are bent that way to fit passed the steering column on A bodies. Tons of room on a B. I may heat and bend that pipe away but the sleeves are working.
For a priced cheaper header;what headers work best not TTI something cheaper on a 340 1973 dodge dart ? has any one use patroit headers ? or jegs brand ? under chassie thanks
Nothing wrong with cheaper headers I have had Summit headers on my D150 for many years only having to change a gasket once. I have TTIs on my 367 c.i. Dart and I hate them I can’t wait to change back to Tubular Automotive brand if and when they can get tubing to build them again. I just had to change engines and the TTI headers were the most time consuming part of the job.For a priced cheaper header;
I’ve used Summit 1-5/8 headers with there thicker head flange. The tubes have not yet needed a hammer. Used on A & E bodies.
If the next size tube up is needed, (1-3/4) inexpensive is not possible, but look to the Hooker Super Comps.
That is one of the downfalls to cheaper headers.It’s nice not to cringe every time I hit a pot hole or dip in the road.

And be sure to have your hammer ready next to the steering box! Also had to remove the grease fitting on one of the drag link or tie rod ends (LH side). Put it back in now and then to grease the joint then take it back out.For a priced cheaper header;

Thanks, I’ll keep it in mind.Sorry, yes Hooker SuperComps.
