Hey Folks. I shared this on @johnbecks recent post on 'No Hassle Headers" but figured I'd start a separate thread to keep from bombarding his topic.
I'm in the middle of installing TBP Ceramic Long Tube Headers on my 72' 302 with modified floor shifter for 3speed. I'm only working on the driverside and have run into clearance issues of course. It hasn't been a "No Hassle" at all but I've expected that going into it. I had to move the driveshaft, remove the brake booster and brake lines, remove the valve covers, remove spark plugs and after that was able to get the drivers side header into place. Tight fit for sure.
Would really appreciate the forum looking over the pics i've attached and offering suggestions on a few issues I see:
1. How to resolve the clearance with the clutch linkage?
2. Is that header angle going to work when I go to connect the exhaust tube at level?
3. Any issue with that prop valve and in-line fuel filter location? (filter is tough to see but it's laying on the frame barely out of sight
