Exactly How Do I Install Hooker Headers if Possible

1973Kathleen said

I know i made a post about my problems with headers before, but i decided to take it to my votech class and try to figure it out there with access to lifts and pretty much every tool imaginable. I bought the Hooker Heads 5901 for my 1973 Dodge Dart Sport with a 318 and 904 tranny. Will this work? My teachers are starting to think it wouldn't because of the torsion bar width. header to header from the outside is 26 1/inches and the width between my torsion bars is 24in. Are they supposed to go through the torsion bars or under them? Has anyone successfully installed Hooker Headers 5901 on an A body? if it helps i have power steering and power brakes.

Been about 20 yrs since I put Hookers on my '72 Swinger. Hooker neglected one little thing in their factory instructions at the time :lol: that the steering link had to go THROUGH the driver's side header :lol: Didn't take but a few minutes to figger that out. Passenger side, rather than a 90° oil filter bracket I just got the shorter version of the Lee LF1 or Fram PH8A, fit just fine and easy to change. No, I don't remember the part #s :lol: I had always wanted to put Purple Hornys on one of my hot rods and ordered them with the headers. After getting the engine back on it's perches I saw that a collector mounted muffler was not gonna happen due to a cross member about 10" behind the collector :BangHead:. Allen head bolts were extremely handy for the mounting flanges.
