Headers for 1970 duster 340

[Hemidale426]

Hi rebuilding my 1970 Duster 340 automatic looking for a set of headers that I don't have to beat the s**t out of to fit Back in the day mid 70s I had a set of Hookers the #1 tube was a slip in and they fit no problem even with power steering. Any help would be grate. Thanks Dale

I'd recommend Doug's or TTI, you get what you pay for.

And still have to beat the crap out of a thousand dollar set of headers with the TTI. I'd go Dougs.

Yep - I have those Hooker Super Comps on the avatar too!!

my tti didn't even need a dimple in them to fit my dart.

same. I did have to shim the engine a little though

Some don't. We've both seen a lot on here that did, though.

problem is we never know how the engine was installed.. tti give specific measurements on where th emotor should be.. i doubt many pay attention to that.

Correct. And of course, no one ever admits their car was put together "wrong".

 

[Hemidale426]

Thanks everybody I will keep checking things out and watch at local cruses.

We run the Hooker Super Comp 1 3/4 on
all our A body Street/Strip cars.

I do not know if they are still available new anymore
but I am hoarding several sets.

dougs and tti fit best. Spark plug and ground clearance

Hookers comp and cheapy copies hang below the centerlink, they never go on my cars anymore.

My tti headers fit.... with a thick washer on each side. They already had flattening around the t bar, power steering fit fine with the washers.

The part I dislike, but f it.. is the slip on no.7 seizes after time.. so its captured by the t bar.. and youd have to dremel an expansion line to remove it aftera few years

TTI 1 7/8 inch no dimples needed on the demon. Then the dougs 1 3/4 on the cuda dents required

 

[BrianT]

Another vote for TTI. These are my second pair.

Manifolds. Headers suck in an A body.

 

[340sFastback]

I have TTI long tubes on my small block. Zero dents none and they clear everything. But I had to shim my motor mounts to get engine correctly located. And I run Schumaker Torque Strap to keep engine from moving. My TTIs are prone to surface rust though. But they are 16 years old still in good condition

****, tti headers were easier to work around then the damn 340 manifolds i have on our dart.

 

[65 Cuda 340]

I have a set of TTI's on my 67 Barracuda 360. Fit perfectly with no massaging of the headers or anything else at all. I do have manual steering, though.

Now the TTI's on my 65 Barracuda weren't so easy, had to ding one tube for idler arm clearance, and another for clutch Z-bar clearance. Plus move cables and wiring to the starter, and re-route brake lines. Plus shorten the steering column jacket. But the 65 has a much smaller engine compartment. I was actually pleased that they fit so well.

I've done TTi long tubes twice, once in 70 Dart 360/727, and once in a 75 Dart Sport, also 360/727. No muss, no fuss, no hammering required.
Just make ABSOLUTELY SURE that your engine is located correctly. Read the installation instructions carefully and you shouldn't have any problems.
