found some for 50 bucks used on CL. do these fit with out any mods to shock tower? need feedback asap. thanks!
Which Hooker headers are they? The one's that fit are 6901's. Need to be floor shift and no power steering. If power steering yo need a drop down bracket.
im trying to contact the guy, he did not specify on the ad. but as for me , auto trans floor shift, power st. 302
You'll just need to get a drop down bracket for the power steering. The 6901's go in from underneath. Passenger side can go in pretty straightforward. The drivers side is a little trickier. You need to lift the engine about 4 inches to clear the steering. But no mods are needed.
boy, i sure hope they're 6901's. 50 bucks is a cheap find. depending on how many miles they've been used.. pops said headers warp over time.
NEVERMIND, he thought they were hookers, but they're HEDMAN 88300 69'-73'? does this header sound familiar to anyone? i need to know asap if they will fit. thank you!

I had those on my 74 Grabber, had to use floor shift, and a drop bracket for the steering ram.
Seriously, do a search. These things, Hooker or Hedman, do not just drop in. You need to pull the engine off the mounts, and put one in from the top, one from the bottom, and one of those is with the engine lifted, the other one wasnt, I don't recall which. It is not a fun job the first time, and take notes, so you can make that 3 hour job a 30 minute job the next time. I actually did a writeup on it in my website so that I wouldn't have to fight it next time I do it. It took me forever and several busted knuckles the first time, then everytime after that was pretty easy.
I can back that up, I installed mine over 20 years ago now, and I was almost divorced before I was married, my girlfriend at the time (now my wife) was in a hurry to go somewhere, it was the first time she ever helped work on my car, and it was quite a few years before she ever did again, and I was using a hoist to install them back then, in her Dad's shop..
