TTI header woes
Words of wisdom from 70chall440. You are amazing, you trash a company that only supports our cars when you are putting a new engine that didn't exist until a few years ago into a car that was built almost 50 years ago. And you blame them because their product, that they make for our cars doesn't perfectly fit your swap ?? You have not been to their plant, obviously. They take great pains in using the most expensive measuring equipment to plot the fit on a "average American" built car from the time, with a transplanted new Generation engine not designed for that car but made to fit using adapted parts. How perfect were these cars when they were new ? They didn't get to take a New 73 Duster with a factory 5.7 and get to make them for it. They can't "guarantee perfect fit" as the cars are not perfect and neither are we. How precisely did you measure the offset from centerline and level from side to side ? Use a jig or a tape or or anything ?? I like the positive statement:
"Anyone else have issues with the header hitting the brake proportioning valve? I bought raw headers since "I knew nothing ever fits right." It sounds like "perfect fit" is not your first rodeo. And how many Gen III into 73 A-body conversions do you think that there are ?
Hope the rest of your project goes "perfect."
Be happy TTI is around to support Mopars.
