My 75 Finally Gets The Attention It Deserves(This Could Take a While)
Finally, I know this has been raised on the blog before but here goes. I don't recall what brand the headers are that I had installed back in 82, but I never liked the way they fit. The fact that three of the tubes passed under the steering linkage meant they were too close to the ground for safety. Consequently, you can see in this photo that two of the tubes have been hammered flat by too many close encounters with the road. I hear a lot of folks recommending Doug's headers here. Do they eliminate this problem? And does anyone know if there are any shorties on the market that would fit a Duster? In all honesty I'm seriously considering going back to cast iron stock manifolds, but I'll stick with headers if I can find a set that fits well.
