Hooker Header install issue..

Check out the 5208 thread at the top of the Early A Bodies category.
I have the same combo and headers. 727 rubs, centerlink makes contact on pass side, bumps the pan on driver side at full lock. They work but are a less than perfect fit.

I've read that post to many times to count now. Seems everyone is having issues on the drivers side, my drivers side is fine, lines up and has some space even, the passenger side is bound up and WILL NOT line up. It is driving me crazy. I even cut and modified the trans cross member and still having issues. I will have to bang the hell out of these tubes to make them work and even then not sure if that will give me the clearance to get them on. Not to mention the flange is hitting the torsion bar cross member...
