74 Dart Sport. Hedman Header Hell.
I made a post about 2 weeks ago about getting the correct motor mounts, and thanks to you guys the engine is sitting perfect in the car. I have returned for more help. I reached a wall with these headers, the right side header simply doesn't fit. No matter how high I jack the car up, or how I angle the header, its just not happening. Now I know I should have bought the TTIs or Dougs or anything other than these, but I'm 18 years old and those are not an option for me. Now, I figured the drivers side would have been worse because of the power steering and giant 500 pound starter, but no. That side was on in like ten minutes. I didn't even have to jack the car up that much. The instructions say for both sides that they go in from the bottom up, but on the left side one pipe is blocked by this bar running under the car. Now forgive me I have no idea what this thing is called, but it doesn't look like its suppose to come out. The car is currently jacked up 37 inches in the front. All jacks are maxed out, I even tried using wooden blocks for more height and almost crushed myself under the car when they gave out. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, and later on I'll just make a build post if anyone is interested. Here is some pictures of the rod in the way. Kinda hard to see from the bottom view.
