[ss67gtsdart]

hello i am having trouble with some headers i have they will not fit the power steering is in the way there cheap no name set i was told will fit with ps but they will not .had engine foot in the air banged with sledge hammer cannot get to sit flat due to ps so i assume there manual steering headers.so i am in need of some headers that will fit.i have a 67 dart with a 73 scamp k frame with a 318 with power steering.i really do not want stock manifolds please suggestions on what will fit.thank you

Doug’s or TTI. Or maybe some shorty headers. I think Headman’s will work if u can find them.

thank you

Doug's so you know what shapes they conform / fit around

If your 318 has a stock cam in it and the car is for street use, as in 3.23 gears with a low-stall convertor :
headers will not make much if any noticeable power gain.
This is because the 318 will spend most of it's life at low rpm.
If you are going for balls-out fuel economy, longtubes might make a barely measurable difference....... but you will NEVER in the life of the headers, recover the cost of a TTI/Dougs system.
My advice is put logs on it, and if you can afford them, get the 340 logs with a free-flowing exhaust; duals optional.

But to answer your question
TTIs fit almost perfectly on my SBM*, in my 68 Barracuda, with either trans*, and WITH power steering.
However, I did convert the steering to 73-up, to put the idler arm nut in a slightly better clearance position. But it mighta got into that interference position by my x-tra caster alignment and fixing the bump steer due to my lowered ride height. On the stock alignment, you might not run into that.

SBM*, trans*
I have run both a 360 and a 318 in same chassis, with the same TTIs. While the 360 has always run the A833 M/T, the 318 has also run an A904 auto.

All of the cheap headers I've used have to be dinged a little bit or a pry bar between the powersteering box and the header tube to push the tube flat a little.
They're also known to interfere with the steering coupler.idler arm is known to scrape against them too

I will only install a good header anymore in a A-body. I've done the cyclones, hedmans, etc, and not interested in doing any of those in a A-body anymore. I've had great experience with Doug's, I haven't tried TTI headers but I have run their 2.5" head pipes with manifolds and they fit like a glove.

thank you all for the info.when you says logs u mean stock 340 manifolds im guessing.Its a mildly built 318 nothing crazy i really just like the exhaust sound with headers.all of my mopars seem to get 4 barrels,headers and cam lol.any of you know anything about the summit sum-g9140 it shows fitting 67 gt v8 ps and 73 dart v8 ps and there alot cheaper.tti are out of the question for me 1000bucks for headers i can buy a complete A body car for that ouch.dougs are 700 a little better deal.

Logs are factory low performance manifolds found on m mostly 318s and 2 barrel 360s

I bought Dougs (not ceramic coated) for 5 bills and some change. I need me a handful of some of them "1000 dollar A-bodies"

 

[Ricks70Duster340]

I put the Dougs on my 70 Duster 408/727 with floor shifter and they fit better than any header I've ever had. Only issue I had was when I upgraded the torsion bars from OE to 1.03. Had to clearance the headers to keep them from rubbing. Other than that a great fit.

 

[Scott_ 69HemiDart]

I have TTI on my Dart. @HemiDenny is a dealer for them. He can take care of you......................

hey thank you mopar friends for all the info.i went to autozone they cannot get the raw steel ones anymore but the black d453-b and the ceramics are available the black is $671.99 and ceramic is 900 . I was like my mopar friends mentioned 20% off sometimes she said cannot do cause dougs are special order.then she went into her computer and goes how about $540 out the door to try and match the 20% I was like order them.so thank you for all the advice/info will be my first set of dougs headers ive fought other brands through out the years.From what you all say and what i read about them and Abody mopars i should be really happy with them.i just want to say thank you.i will comment and try to post some pics when i get them.thank u thank u thanku and Mopar On
