Sanderson DD7 header issue

Sreyno said

:banghead:A couple of months ago I bought a set of sanderson dd7 headers for my '66 barracuda. when I tried to install them I found out there is NO WAY the left side will clear the steering box. I called the company today and they have no problem refunding my money. the girl I talked to said they have a new set due out on Friday that were specifically designed for early A body applications and she asked if I would wait until friday and see if I could get a set in trade for the previous ones. Or, she said they would refund my money and take the other set back. I think I will wait to see if these will work. after all I would have to buy a different set anyway. I will post later to tell everyone if they work or not........

I recently bought dd7 headers from Sanderson, and I have a 71 Dodge Dart with a 318 and p/s. I spent twenty hours making them work for my car. They do clear the regular starter, but they hit everything else possibly. I had to shim the motor immensely, and get a flexible trans dipstick and tube. They do not fit darts unless you are a well versed mechanic. They are not made to fit well. These guys are assholes to the car community, by charging a crap load of cash for a part that they say fits and really does not. Everyone has a right to know, and I wish I had read this before I bought my pair. They do sound great, but it's not worth the headache. I had to jump over so many hurdles. If anyone needs help making them fit feel free to message me for advice. But know it's going to be a monumental task if you buy dd7 headers from Sanderson. And do not trust them if they say they fit, all they do is test it on a block at their shop and think that they've made a tight hugging set of headers...false !
