Dougs headers

Iron Mike,

I am just getting finished having my Doug's installed on my '68 GTS 4 spd. When I bought the car, it had the Hookers on there.

- The Doug's spark plug access is great (better than the Hookers "up and over" tube). I went to the 45 degree angle spark plug wires.

- Since it had the Hookers already, the PO had the 90 degree oil filter adapter installed. Go with that set up.

- No issue with the oil pan (except that one header tube is pretty close on drivers side), but here's additional thoughts:

* Needed to go with a mini starter (rebuilt on ebay for ~ $59.00) for clearance issues and even then, I had to grind the edge of the solenoid

* decided to heat tape wrap PS line near the front header tube

* If it's a 4 spd, you'll need to modify the "Z" bar like the one TTI sells. Go to the sight and print off the brochure, then have yours modified. I think they wanted like $159.00 for their modified "Z" bar

* Whole operation was MUCH easier with ALL the steering linkage out/ steering box out etc.
