Headers on a 4x4

[DonsCST]

Just installed a new set of JEGS headers on my 70 CST 4x4. They were a little different from the old Headman headers that I took off.
One problem I had was with the #2 spark plug on the drivers side, too close to the pipe. After some heating and bending I gained a liitle more clearance.
The second problem I had was having to bend the z bar for the clutch because the #3 header tube was dead center, again a little heat and a little bending did the trick. No problems on the passenger side.
The rest of the exhaust will be installed by a local shop with flowmaster muffs.
Has anybody dealt with bad fitting headers? Any tips would help. Thanks.
