Headers for a '64 w/ a 350 SB?
I got some crappy Headman Headers on right now and I keep melting the #5 plug wire. The pipe bend at the flange is too tight.
I tried the cheap fix w/ the Accel shorty plugs. Didn't work. Who else has a 60's series truck running headers off a small block? I need some good recommendations. Thanx

Ive got the cheapo summit truck headers (67-72)
they clear all the plugs and wires (regular autolite plugs and summit HEI wires they will not clear the 4 speed crossmember, torsion bars, or mechanical clutch linkage my other post http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...threadid=75471

I've got the Dynomax headers (Advance Auto's where I picked them up) on the 327 in my GMC and they seem to do fine. I had some issues with the plug wires in my son's 67 Chevy until I used some looms to pull everything away from the headers but still keep them separated enough to prevent cross firing. I think they were around $100 or so... paint burned off rapidly, though. Next time I buy a set I'll go for the ceramic coated ones instead; I just needed something I could slap on it quickly to move it around without complaints from the wife. The old exhaust system consisted of headers that no longer had colectors (rotted away) or anything else to quiet it down!

I have hooker headers and I run shorty plugs. Running the wires was difficult, Is it burning the boots or the wire? I am also running angle plug heads.
