I thought the same thing. I didn't wrap them all the way to the collector. Just to the junctions of where the two halfs meet. Yeah, it gets hot under there! Since these pictures, I swapped to Edelbrock Max-Fire wires that came free with the Air Gap. The boots on the plugs are much more...

Got the front set finished today. Thank goodness for header wrap, it looks like Frankenstein now with the tube jogs to clear the Webers. Now for the back set. I hope they look better, but I doubt it.

I just pick some of that up. I won't mention the name of United Speed World because they ripped me off on a set of heads. I have limited knowledge, I'm. Not a Machinist. But I I've been doing this for a while and I'm not a dumbass. So,if you're going to magnaflux a set of heads, put new valve...

Thanks gzig. I was kinda wondering if the header wrap would be cumbersome going around those tiny lines. I installed these headers last summer when the car was still running and had no idea what I was doing, so I didn't think about the heat they'd be putting off. I didn't wrap anything, didn't...

i understand your "anger" at exhaust headers over the problems they present. however, unless the factory designed exhaust manifolds are very well designed with excellent flow characteristics - which most factory manifolds are not, you just can't beat the performance gain with a set of...

About 6 years ago I put a set of NOS Hooker 1 7/8 fenderwell headers in my ‘67 383 Formula S car that I have driven roughly 17-20k miles so far. Tires - I’m running 155R15 Firestones on 3.5” Slot Mags w/1” bolt on adapters & I have no rubbing issues but I run it fairly high, it’s super close &...

no, but most if they are going to wrap will do full header wrap. Just wrap the portion you wish to and wrap a tie wire or metal zip tie or something around it to hold it.

Good to know, well I don't have full length header just ones for the turbos, I might get away with it, if not then I'll order another 50ft. I don't think on the titanium I need to soak them in water if I'm not mistaken or will it help make a tigher wrap?

My son bought me heat wrap and plug wire boots for Father's Day. I installed them today. I put a slit in the heat wrap for the fuel line bracket and wrapped it all the to just past #6 header tube. Since I don't need passenger side boots, I used one on the fuel hose to the carburetor. Not...

mderoy340, your lines look so similar to my lines. I am attaching some pics of mine and I cant find any right at the headers but mine are pretty much the same as yours. I have insulated them with the heat wrap and also built a 1/8" shield between them and the header collector. Also where my fuel...

yep, the W5 head was a nice weapon. If the casting quality could have been improved, you had a home run, no doubt. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and Indy stepped in with a solution that performs at that level right around that same time frame. Too bad TTI doesnt make that header any more...

Quit worrying about it, lol. Roll with the punches. If it were me I would hang the headers from the inner fender with some wire, undo the cross link and slide it through the header and leave it unhooked on the driver side. Drop the engine in and get it lined up and loosely bolted. Once it's...

The reason I'm fudging with the distributor is I already have "a lot of detonation and lousy fuel economy" (15 mpg in town). My goal with the distributor is to reduce the mechanical advance to eliminate the ping. I have stock 2" exhaust all the way back. I think the Super Six cars came with a...

They make and sell a nice app. Two inch header wrap and stainless clamps that I have used too. I still have a set of 1/4 inch steel plates that I made years ago that I used on the engine mounts to raise the engine a touch for another issue I had like this.

...go. And finally, don't do it unless you really need it. If your car is a short distance driver, over time the wrap can hold moisture inside the header tubes and they can rust from the inside out. I used header wrap on the tubes on my Cobra replica. In about 6 years I had rust through in 3 tubes.

Hell yeah! Glad it wasn't hurt anymore than that! Some plug wire wrap would work for that. Although, routing it away from the header would be best.

Yeah that's as high as the 4" pipes will go. I'll be wrapping mine just down nexr to the transmission.

MSD 8.5 wires , with adjustable plug ends, wrap them anyway , WORKS.

Thanks, tried all that moons ago. Had double electric fans, auxiliary radiators (trans coolers) in cooling system you name it...header/brakeline wrap Didnt matter when at a stop light.....lol

If you ever have your header off Wrap them! that will help as well. Another trick, until you get the headers Wrapped. Get a 3/8 rubber hose. split it down the middle and slide it over the fuel line, on the fire wall, to keep the headers from boiling the fuel right there. alu foil over that...

...of shields and mocked in the 2.25 Accurate Exhaust head pipe to see what sort of clearance it had... I am in good shape. I will put some header wrap between the starter and the shield where you can't see it. Don't forget to remove the washers from the plugs if you have the old ones with the...

@j par I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying “you knew it was header wrap when you wrapped em”. :)

Wow, that's an interesting observation, wonder if there is a way to avert this other than the obvious don't use it.

That's pretty much the way I did it with the engine out of it. The one thing I would add is that an engine leveler made the job a whole lot easier for me. I just kept lowering the engine and trans in slowly and didn't force anything. Sometimes I had to raise it again a little and adjust the...

Would like to lessen the underhood heat on my 72 dart w/headers. Anyone using header wrap?or paint on header coating?Both claim to reduce temp. Does it work ?? It is a 318/904 comb.

Ran this wrap on my daily driver 84 Shelby Charger 2.2 with the long tube header. It helped keep the heat down and took some of the 'PING' out. Worked in all weather for 3 years in Germany and then 2 years in USA when the front motormount broke and the header hit the ground a couple times and...

...Mr. Gasket Ultra seals and light torque on the header bolts since the twin exhaust ports are the likely ones to warp. I also use the Mr. G gaskets at the collector/reducer. Use the spark plugs protective boosts like Dentaldart did. The header wrap is extra and not really needed but a certain...

Thank you Kind Sir, That's the HELPFUL advice I was seeking and though I've no reason to question "Supertrucks" personal experience I was too kinda thinking that it gets a wee bit warm inside a header.

@Jimmy2Times Here's the rest of the install. I still need to wrap the post fuel filter (large marine fuel/water seperator) with header wrap. I would recommend a return line system to quiet down and extend the pump life. It also keeps cool fuel supply to the carb.
