i may be wrong, but i thought that any a-body header would fit it? do you have a brand/price range in mind?

i have a 66 dart with the same scenario.
there is a company called "Dougs Headers", (not doug thorley) who still make a set for your car.
they are however very expensive, around 700.00 for the set.
thats why i haven't purchased them.
good luck.

von, a basic a-body header wont fit?

Von Wagner · 10-26-2006, 03:56 PM

no they won't. the steering gear and all of the linkage gets in the way.
Dougs Headers makes a set for the 66 dart, also Hedman Hedders makes a fenderwell set that looks really cool but you have to modify the inner fenderwells to make them work.

What about the street set made by Hedman. I have some unknown set in my 72, but I saw a 68 gts 340 with Hedmans street headers, they were snug but there wasnt any sign of clearance issues. My set is similar to these and I have knocking issues at the top of the steering just before the firewall on the number 7 tube. The Comp series has a different design that they say doesnt work with power steering and it also seems to have a ground clearance issue.

I'm also looking for a new set for when I pull my 318 and stoke it to 390. Ill let you know how well they work.

Spitfire makes headers for the early A-bodies, but they are kinda funky ( no real collector to speak of).
TTI also has headers for the early A-bodies that uses a long tube design with 3" collectors. They are really spendy, and the installation is sort of complicated ( you have to pull the steering column, torsion bars, and a few other things, and you have to modify the tranny mount ), but they offer good ground clearance, and you don`t have to cut up your fenderwells.

i have heard great things about the tti headers but they are expensive, headmans can be made to fit bit i dented mine up pretty bad getting them in, and it was only possible because i had my whole stearing system out, in my opinion headers dont tend to be worth the trouble

Doug's headers are your best fit. Just put them on my 65 cuda. You can get them thru summit.
Good Luck, Mark
