Okay guys a little background. I bought my 71 chevy with a 83 police intercepter 350 and centerdump manifolds with a turbo 350. I recently switched to headers that a buddy had laying around brand new but im not sure of the brand. My problem is my shifter linkage hits the middle of my collector tube and im not sure how to fix it. Help would be greaty appreciated. Thanks Brandon

any pics how much clearance are we talking I've seen them dinged with a hammer before to clear stuff, not attractive or the best fix by far but it works and its cheap.

Were they for your model truck? I have used a set off of a 69 camaro and they fit up just about like you described. I wound up using a lokar cable but their direct rod should work too.
