: Getting the exhaust hooked back up in the morning. New set of Hooker Comps.

: : the guy I spoke to doesn't have part numbers, but Hooker 1 5/8 headers worked on a 72-73 Comet 302 w/column shifter for him, he said he had to do some slight modifications, bending the linkage a little and such... from what I've read, the Heddmans won't work and those are the ones I want... dammit...
: : : : I have a 1973 Maverick with a 302. Right now I am putting a long block in to the car. Right now I have the new engine set into place and the headers set into place. My question is will the stock Linkage to put the trans into gear work with the headers (Headman part #88300) because it doesnt look like it will work. I have another question about the linkage. I got a long block from the local rebuilders with a R/V cam in it. My question is the new block doesnt have the same bolt holes for the braket to hold this linkage into place. On this new block it has a bold hole going up and down, the old block has a bold hole going sideways. do you have to have this braket in place or will I have to convert the car to a floor shift? Any sugestions would be helpful.

: : : Well, I have never found a set of headers that will fit with the colum shifter.
: : : You will more than likely have to get a cable operated floor shifter, then watch out for the cable against the header thing.....
