Hedman Shorty Headers?

dgc333 said

I have headman's in my 68 Barracuda and there was no mention of beating the tubes to fit in the instructions, the tubes clear everything just fine. I have a 4spd and the instructions said to cut the protrusion that serves no function off the from of the z-bar lever but that was all.

A clarification on the installation instructions and headers from CudasRule's post. The headers he purchased to replace the old were Flotech's, not Hedman. Yes indeed, the instructions for the Flotech's said to hit the tube with a hammer. (see copy of text below). After the Flotech fiasco, he decided to go with the shorty headers that JohnnyDart was inquiring about. Perhaps the long headers made by Hedman are different than the Flotech design and have a better fit.

INSTALLATION NOTE: On some models with the large power steering box, it may be
necessary to dent tube L-4 if it touches the bolt that mounts the power steering unit to the
chassis. Do so by holding the header in place. Check the clearance and mark the tube
with chalk or a pencil. Remove and dent the tube lightly with a hammer.
