: Well I just got a set of Summit Racing headers for the swapped-in
: 302 in my '75 and guess what - They don't fit...Not even close.
: The passenger side fits fine of course. The driver's is a different
: story. The header needs to come forward 1 inch, but it cannot due
: to major contact with the steering box. This is INSANE! My car is
: a '75, originally with an I6, power steering & brakes. I've since
: converted to manual steering & brakes, with the original steering box. Are the steering boxes different for other years? There is no physical way the driver's side header will fit.
: Summit Racing headers are made by Flowtech. Well they suck.
: If anyone knows of headers that will fit for sure please let me know.
: I'll be returning these to Summit & would like to buy a new set from them that fits. I've had good luck with Hedman's - maybe I'll try them.
: Thanks in advance
