Fenderwell Header Issue

[66Kooda]

Looking for some help, pictures, etc. Trying to get drivers side fenderwell header installed (Hedman Husler). I have plenty of space cut out - but the #1 cylinder tube comes out from the flange, turns 90 degrees, but doesn't run "parallel" with the the head long enough to clear the shock mount. It drifts away further from the head and makes contact. Is this normal and I need to re-fab that tube? I cant cut anymore material out for clearance - it is hitting right against the shock mount. Do I have the wrong headers? Any help appreciated. I do have a set of new TTI ceramic coated - but do not want to use them, they will be up for sale after I get these installed.

Are those made for 63-66 or 67-76 A bodies?

Heat it up where the bend is to close the radius and lower the lateral a bit? If you could bolt it to a spare head while doing this... a few more Budweiser's and you'll have it!

Small block? Did you buy these used?

I was told they were for early A - lost all the information on the seller so I can't follow up with him.
