Default Re: Do you run headers ?

Just mounted PN# 2457-3HKR - 2" Hooker Competition Darkside Ceramic Coated Headers on the Black Camaro.

The clearance around the steering box was very good. On the driver side I removed the oil filter, clutch rod between the Z bar and clutch fork. With the front end up a couple feet they went right in from the bottom.
I relocated the clutch return spring much like a SB Camaro would be, fabbed a extension out of 3/32" piano wire. It now runs right between two of the four tubes and is terminated near the SS brake line that runs across the back of the subframe crossmember.

Passenger side has good clearence around the starter. The outboard lower area came very close to the original fuel line that runs along the inside of the sub frame on a 69 Camaro.
Some of you guy's ain't going to like this. I rerouted the fuel line along the top of the subrame much like a 68 BB Camaro is. I made a new line from SS and spliced it in at the outside frame rail under the Pax seat. The joint looks like what is found on a 69 Nova, 3/8" hose W/two green clamps. Also had to trim 3/8" off the rear bolt on the upper control arm.
Here is the pic's. Check out my dumps.. ..need to have two new pipes made up this week to reconnect the exhaust.











So how'd I do Sammy No not you, gas tank boy The other Sammy
