Not to hijack the thread, but rage'nrat638, where do you get those little booties for the plug wires. I was reading a thread on here in the past couple of days about wires, and going to look for my wires this weekend.

Tx Firefighter- Are those "truck headers" ? I have Hooker super comps on my truck but they don't look like yours, and I had a ton of clearnace all around when I installed them. I got mine from Summit Racing as well.

I believe it difficult for Summit, Jeg's, etc to try and figure out what type of header will fit best in our application, if they are going by factory specifications (size of engine, year of truck, clearance, etc). If we have an engine that was different from the original, then I believe trail and error would be the best solution. I'm about to order a set for my truck, and the best fit will be for a SB Chevelle, this is because of my drop. Best bet is to use what other members have used in their trucks with a BB.
My 2 cents worth...

Summit has headers made specifically for our trucks with big or small blocks in them. The part number for small block is HOK-2452-1. Here's mine, like I said they fit perfect and went in very easy.

70LONGBED ...... THOSE LITTLE HEAT RESISTANT BOOTS ARE MADE OUT OF FIBERGLASS, & AVAILABLE FROM SUMMIT. THEY ARE THE SH!TS & WELL WORTH THE $40 OR SO THAT THEY COST. I'VE USED THEM FOR YEARS. JOHN

So why is it that TX recieved a clearance issue (starter and pan)? I'm sure he ordered a BB header for our year truck. I can order a set of headers for my year of truck, but with the drop I have, I'll have clearance issues (from header to ground).

*Randy70C-10* · 12-19-2003, 12:53 PM

Hadn't noticed his are big block. Someone mentioned yesterday that you can use Chevelle headers for extra ground clearance.

I have Hedmann's and I eat starters, even with a 30 dollar moroso heat shield. I will go mini starter after this one dies....

Thats a crazy bend....I would contact Hooker first to see whats up. If thats the way they're suppose to be...I'm not running hookers. For one thing it would hit my 8 gt sump oil pan.

Go with the mini starter
I was going through a starter ever summer!
Then I spent $280 on a mini high torque starter
And Man what a unit!
Doesn't get hot! Turns every time no more smashing it with a hammer!LOL
And the best part is the WICKED sound it makes when u turn it over!
