Dougs, tti or the schumacher tri's
Something was wrong if Dougs or tti don't fit, like engine in wrong spot, etc. Could be you got the wrong header. that's happened with both tti and dougs before.... stuff happens
Dirty little secret- Doug's makes the headers for Schumacher...
WOW those are pricey! $500-$700 for raw steel headers is FAR too much for me, regardless of how nicely they fit...
Think I'll just go with the Hookers, and modify the pipes as needed...

What is the false claim? The more I check them out the better they look.Has schumacher removed the false claim about the tri y headers?
So there I was, looking at the engine bay just a few minutes ago..........
Is there any way I can install headers without pulling the engine? Looks like I'll have to pull the fenders and fender supports just to get to each side and avoid having to pull hoses and master cylinders and such...

What exactly does this mean?Hooker header fitment blurb courtesy of Summit Racing said:However, because the exhaust port centerline on these heads is 5/8 in. higher and 3/8 in. out from the engine centerline compared to stock heads, some header modifications will be required for installation.
K, so I have a game-plan at least... While I'm doing the headers, I could also look at doing motor mount bushings.
Also, my car seems to have a TON of thin tubings and such, as it's a '76 with AC (lots of stupid crap, including a "smog pump")... Any risk in pinching something and thus any "be on the lookout" warnings aside from distro cap?
As for the fitting: The little blurb on Summit says the headers need to be slightly modified a few ways to accomodate the plugs. Anybody got any pics of bur work to comply with this? Also, about the "smog pump" crap... Hooker's instructional PDF says to plug these by tapping and installing set-screws? Will my '76 318 have these and thus require plugging in this manner?

K, so, more exhaust questions.....
What diameter pipe should I run on a currently stock 318? Was going to do straight pipe from heads to a 45 degree bend and dump out the sides right in front of the rear wheel well, with a 24" or 30" glasspack on each line.
Eventual plans are for a 4bbl, cam, and maybe compression and heads later, but that's kinda far down the road...

Its not a chevy cant pull the inner fenders to install anything unless you want to cut it off and weld it all back on
