EARLY A body hooker header install P/N 5208 UPDATE!

I use to run those hookers for many years,,before ceramic coating arrived they were only aluminum coated,,,
we experimented on a junk car to find the smallest hole needed to cut on the inner fender well ,as dave states the templet hooker gives you is way to big of a hole,,we cut a small hole,,jacked up the car pretty high,,removed the tires and as we put the headers in we twirled the headers as we slid them down,,was a very small hole compared to the templet,,

as for spark plug changing,,there is a spark plug tool you can buy at most parts stores,,back in the day they sold them for changing plugs in VW,s tee handle with a swivel on the end and a socket attached,,,worked great,,
also the car was a 4 speed with a lake wood scatter shield the only clearance problems at that time were the passenger side torsion bar cros member we notched it to match the drivers side...the headers in dvj pics seem to have the passenger side reworked to point a little lower then the cross member..all in all a decent set of headers if you dont mind cutting,,,

i currently have custom headers,,, I Saved the pieces of innewr fender well i cut out ,,saved them for years,,and are now welded back in,,,
