440 A body header options
I have TTi's on my 69 440 Dart wanted a true in fenderwell header and I didn't consider a tri-y a true header... the TTi's are a very tight fit ....they touch around the steering box and come close around 3 plugs requiring special wrapping and the purchase of 7 mm plug wires and the wires still end up burning...overall I am not too happy with them but I didn't have much choice when putting this together....they were the only true in fender well header manufactured at the time
Just wrap the wires with some header wrap making boots, or buy some boots to protect them (see my picture of the boots on passenger side). If you take your time with fitment, you won't have any issues., never had a plug wire burn, was running 8mm Morso wires. if the headers were hitting stuff, they were not installed per instructions. maybe the car had been hit at one time, narrowing the engine compartment. Mine fit perfect, didn't hit anything. I took lots of time to make them fit correct.
A flaming River coupler will help, but I didn't use one, just slightly modified the rag joint on the steering (see picture).
I must add, I ran a JW Ultra bell adapter and glide case, which the headers were not designed with. Only modification was the shift linkage, which was no big deal.
I also ran a mid plate, which made removing the trans to get the starter out an issue. But never had to do that. It was the mid plate that caused the issue, not the TTI's.
