I saw these on a post. Is anyone using the Hooker 5204 Headers, and if so how well do they fit on an "A" body. Thanks
Whats up with the collector flange. I have a pair in my 68 Barracuda. the flange catches everything. Its clocked with tip pointed down. I like them, I am in the process of swapping them in to my Duster drag car. I think I will cut the flange off. Run a slip fit or something else. Still I think the fit is better than My TTis.
I had not thought of that. Thanks for the heads up.yes..my crew ruined the passenger side while loading the car on the trailer...back in sept..
the header flange caught the trailer.....
I thought these headers were supposed to have excellent ground clearance because they mount above the steering link? I was going to go with these headers for my motor to get away from my puny 1-5/8' hedmann's that already give me clearance problems....are these worse then the typical cheapy 1-5/8 header?
If they are the hookers i tried, they will not fit with the Milodon oil pan.
PM sentI had the 5204's on my 69 'Cuda, the first couple years. Fit good, didn't hang low, made good power for the price. Still got em if anyone wants a set. Mark
They are good headers. You just need to be aware of the passenger side clearance, especially if you run your front low on street. Also pay attention to loading on trailers. I to have got caught loading.
two tubes on passenger side are below the tie rod...see post #12 above with pictures...on passenger side ..tie rods go between the tubes...
i have a set on a 71 dart and 71 demon...just went out in the garage a couple of minutes ago to take pictures of them on demon...but they did not come out on digital camera....tomorrow is another day...
on a street car...speed bumps will kill them...on a race car...no problem
with street driving the only safe headers are Dougs and TTi.....sooner or later...you will smash the tubes on these too..
Actually there is a 71 Demon in my garage with 5204s on it...but the front end of the car sits kind of low since it is for drag racing...I can take a picture in the morning...you can see how it goes around the tie rod...but the clearance to the ground is going to be terrible on that car..
