Something I didn’t post was when I started street racing my duster in 1975 headers were illegal in Pa. but we were getting close to being legal. Many over the guys I was going up against already installed them knowing it was coming. In my near stockish form it didn’t hurt my combo but a lot of guys weren’t stock. I still had a near perfect record except for the back and forth races with my Freeport friend in the blue Camero. But soon I gave in and it was time for John and his friends to become outlaws too. Off to Summit we went and for around 59.00 came home with Blackjack headers. I think install day was the day I learned how to swear. My Dad had electrical tools, not mechanical tools. So I grab some of my 2.45 hour wage and went to Klingensmiths Hardware to buy a set S&K openend wrenches. Dads Cresent although nice didn’t work to well with header bolds that were sunken in the header tubes (damn mother Mopar). Shortly after that when I had the cash it was 3/8 then 1/2 then 1/4 S&K ratchet sets. The hook was set and racing was reeling me in.
