best commercial headers for a '72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm currently running Hedman headers on my '72 k10. The one hitch I have with these pipes is that my clutch arm rubs against one of the pipes, and no doubt in the near future I'll have to pull these headers off. Anyone out there ever find off the shelf headers that worked for them?

if you've already got those headers just mark where they are rubbing the clutch arm and take a hammer to em to get clearance it won't affect performance and it's cheaper than buying new ones

sounds like you've seen this problem before. mark and whang it with a ball peen hammer? The header pipe should take that ok?

Hooker Super Comps have an excellent reputation....but they run about $300 if i remeber correctly.

If your pipes aren't rusted too bad....they should take a couple whacks from a hammer.

I'm running the Hooker Super Comps, love'm. They look awsome and fit like a glove.
