Not that kind of Hooker, you perverts!

The kind the brown truck brings.

Hooker Comps, Jet-Hot coated for my big block conversion saga.

Well I'm disappointed!!! Nice looking headers though!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-18-2003, 11:19 PM

Nice looking header's what's the funny bend for?? Look's like you got a good help great to star em young..

Rooster's 67 · 12-18-2003, 11:21 PM

ooooooo,,,,aaaaaaahhhhhhh,,,
I can hear them singin' tubes already!

Tx Firefighter · 12-18-2003, 11:23 PM

That funny bend cradles the starter. It's less than 3/8 inch from the starter.

Up till now, I've always been very happy with Hooker headers. We'll see.....wouldn't it be great if I had to buy one of those little mini starters after spending 3 hours re-building mine last night? (I'm being sarcastic, it wouls suck to have to buy a new starter).

*rage'nrat638* · 12-18-2003, 11:34 PM

I USED HOOKER 71 CHEVELLE HEADERS FOR MY BIG BLOCK....NO FUNKY BENDS
LIKE THE ONE'S U GOT THERE....I HAD THE SAME ONE'S......
AND YES I HAD TO BUY A MINI STARTER

AND CUTE LITTLE HEPLER YOU GOT TX

Tx Firefighter · 12-18-2003, 11:48 PM

so...furious...can...barely....type.....

Summits getting these *****es back on a fast train!

Yes, that's touching my freshly POR15 painted engine.

By the way Nova Cobra, that's my daughter, not son.

Tx Firefighter · 12-18-2003, 11:50 PM

Ragenrat- are you saying that you had a set like this, with the funny bend? I figured it was defective. Are all Hooker truck headers supposed to be shaped like this?

Could I please see a pic of your Chevelle units? I might have to buy some of them.

junkyardjohn · 12-18-2003, 11:51 PM

I PUT HOOKER COMPS. ON MY 71 WITH A 468 IN IT. NO CLEARANCE PROBLEMS AT ALL WITH A FULL SIZE, STOCK G.M. STARTER. THEY FIT LIKE A DREAM WITH PLENTY OF CLEARANCE AROUND THE FRAME. HOOKER COMPS, SUPER COMPS & DOUG THORLYS, ARE THE ONLY HEADERS I WOULD CONCIDER USING. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED ALL THOSE $79 HEADERS ARE A WASTE OF EFFORT & MONEY. I THOUGHT THE FUNNY LOOKING BENDS IN A COUPLE OF THOSE TUBES WERE FOR STARTES CLEARANCE ALSO. THAT & SO ALL THE TUBES WERE TO BE THE SAME LENGTH. (THATS BEEN HOOKERS CLAIM TO FAME FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, & I'M 45) JOHN

Tx Firefighter · 12-18-2003, 11:55 PM

JunkyardJohn, these ARE 369 dollar Hooker Comps!

These ain't no 79 dollar cheapies.

junkyardjohn · 12-19-2003, 12:04 AM

TXFIREFIGHTER ---- I REALIZE THEY ARE...... I WASN'T INSINUATING OTHER WISE (SORRY IF YOU THOUGHT I WAS). I'VE BEEN HAPPY WITH COMS & SUPER COMPS. & HAVE NEVER HAD A CLEARANCE PROBLEM. NOW DON'T GET ALL DEFENSIVE & BENT OUT OF SHAPE, BUT DO YOU HAVE THEM TIGHTENED UP ALL THE WAY??? BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, THAY WILL SAG & TOUCH THE MOTOR.

JOHN

Tx Firefighter · 12-19-2003, 12:12 AM

John, I'm very sorry if I offended you. I'm dealing with a bit of fury concerning these things. I installed the gasket and tightened them down, I have about 1/8 to 1/4 clearance between the pan and header now. Is that going to blister the paint on the pan?

This having to buy a mini-starter is disapointing for sure.

Again, John, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across a a jerk.

*rage'nrat638* · 12-19-2003, 12:15 AM

WELL HAVE'NT STARTED THIS RIG IN MONTH'S

CAN'T REALLY GET A SHOT UNDER SIDE NOW

DRIVERS SIDE TOP

*rage'nrat638* · 12-19-2003, 12:17 AM

PASS.TOP SIDE

junkyardjohn · 12-19-2003, 12:29 AM

NO PROBLEM. IF YOU USED GOOD HIGH HEAT ENGINE PAINT I DOUBT THAT IT WILL BLISTER YOUR PAINT.

LIKE I SAID BEFORE ... HOOKER & DOUG THORLEY HEADERS ARE THE BEST ONES MADE IN MY OPINION, & I WOULDN'T CONCIDER USING ANYTHING ELSE. I'M SURE YOU'LL BE HAPPY WITH THEM, & IF YOUR NOT..... YOU'LL BE THE FIRST PERSON I'VE EVER HEARD OF THATS NOT.

JOHN

Brewski* · 12-19-2003, 01:05 AM

These are Headman ceramic. They are the only ones I found that fit a 4x4 4spd manual. I did have to torque the pass side to get it to clear the starter and front differential but I am with you on the money they cost 300+ delivered. They should have fit without any problems. In this world of old trucks I find that sometimes you have to give a little or sacrafice a little to have anything that is decent.

jhow66 · 12-19-2003, 01:30 AM

Used Hedmans on my 502--2" tubes with 3"collectors. Fit like a glove . Did not have remove anything or raise motor to install from below (except sparkplugs). $215 for headers-$217 for Jet-Hot coating.

jhow66 · 12-19-2003, 01:36 AM

P.S. -plenty of starter clearance.(had to add a high torque later because stock 402 starter was not up to the task--Powermaster mini)

da-burb · 12-19-2003, 01:37 AM

Does it make me a pervert if I was hoping to see pictures of tow trucks?

and just in case you really did need to see some non-header or non-tow truck type hookers, TAKE A LOOK HERE. I gots me a PHD, pimpin hoes degree.

GMC JUNKIE TOO · 12-19-2003, 01:48 AM

You won't have a problem with the paint melting I had a set of jethot coated dynomaxes and one of the plug wire boots was up against a tube and it never melted or discolored. They say the coating reduces the temp by 75%, I belive them.

Hotrod70C10 · 12-19-2003, 04:05 AM

Hey Tx Firefighter, Are you going to have any ground clearance issues with your exhaust since the truck is so low? I know the full lengths on my 350 hang to low right for my 4" drop. Maybe you have lower speed bumps around there? :p

superchevy · 12-19-2003, 10:50 AM

Hey Kevin, I've got a pair of Hedman 3/4 length Chevelle headers for the 468 in Daisycutter. They seem to fit OK, but I've only held them in place...haven't bolted them down yet.

bigjimzlll · 12-19-2003, 11:32 AM

You got hookers patented oil heater model. Ragen rat...isn't your headers super comps?
