    will these dougs fit my a body?

    If you have them, IN HAND, try fitting them up and pass the information on to the rest of us and then we would know for sure that they fit; OR that they don't...........you didn't say what year "A" body you have.

    Any of yall used one of these?

    The basic problem is that the "shoes" are meant to bend pipe............. exhaust "pipe"is actually tubing and has a different OD than pipe, it fits very loose in the shoe which is why it; the tubing; gets crushed........if you can get shoes for bending tubing, you might have better luck

    Headers vs 360 manifolds for 318

    What's the rest of the equation?? "Better" is very subjective.....there are people who have put manifolds back on as they get tired if nagging annoyances, leaky gaskets hitting the ground, higher under hood temperatures; others are not, or have not, been bothered with such issues. On something...

    340 in a 65 Dart, TTI HEADERS, H exhaust

    One thing you might want to do is clearance the passenger side structural so the pipe will lay up to the floor pan as it does on the drivers side; early "A"s did not come with duel exhausts from the factory, so pipe lay out on passenger side needs help. You can use the tranny cross member as a...

    Not sure where to post this question? Exhaust manifold paint?

    Look at it this way............what are the relative temperatures that each paint is rated for, go with the one that withstands more heat.......clean well prepped surface makes all the difference in the world. As an added bonus, if it turns out the BBQ paint withstands heat better.....it'll...

    Headers on a '62 Valiant with an LA block?

    Possibilities...........Thorley "D"-Dart headers; Layson's Spitfire's, TTi has early "A" headers, OR, get creative and make your own. Good luck!

    Starter nuts with headers?

    Any combination of wobble extensions/universal joints that it takes; OR as a last resort......drop the starter.

    Why are my dougs 450 headers hitting EVERYTHING on my early a

    Here's a thought..............How long have you owned the car? How well do you know its history? Is it possible the car has been hit? It's a streach, but it is a possibility. Given how tight Thorly's are ( I have a set ) it doesn't take much to cause problems. Ok it hits the starter, is it...

    best fitting headers 65 barracuda

    "TTI headers have larger tubes and collectors, they are also less money".............Tubes are larger, however I've heard that they require a special starter, BIG$$$$, and you hack saw/grind boss's off the bell housing for clearance; so it comes around to be about the same$$$, time and effort...

    best fitting headers 65 barracuda

    Never tried TTi's, I have a set of Doug's "D" Dart headers on my 65 Barracuda, I like them, had to ding a tube to clear the coupling on the steering column. Pay attention to your engine mounts, if they are old and crushed, may be a problem. good luck!
