Hedman header question

Been away for quite a while! I will have to catch up with all the long timers and get to know everyone else.

I bought a set of Hedman 69090 headers yesterday. The passenger side went on without a problem, but obviously the clutch z-bar is interfering with the install on the driver side. I did some more research after the fact and the 69092 set looks like possible direct fit since the #7 pipe is bent differently.

Anyone have any input on the 69092's as a direct fit?

Answer: Hedman 69092 headers are a direct fit if you have a 3 speed column shift.

Re: Hedman header question

Yes, if your truck was originally a V8 (factory position), you will need the 69092's. If you are mounted on I 6 stands with your sb, you can use the 69090's....post back that info, & I will show you how I did it crazyL

Re: Hedman header question

I'd love to see pics of this install as I had the same question last week. I too am trying to find a set of headers for a 350 4 speed combo that require little or no modifications

Which position is which. Iirc mine is set in the farther back holes (350).

I am wondering if moving mine will make the shorty headers not run into the front cross member....

If you are mounted in factory sb spot, you can run an HEI....with enough clearance to turn your fist sideways & fit it tween the dis cap & firewall. if you are in I 6 spot, that HEI will fit.....but you will play he!! slidin your fingers tween the cap & firewall(dam tight!) CrazyL

Re: Hedman header question

I got Doug Thorley Tri Y's myself.
They were the only ones I could find that would fit angled spark plug wires.

Re: Hedman header question

Just to clarify, you had an issue installing on a manual shift truck? I just ordered these for my '71 c10 350 Auto .. really hoping all fits well.

Re: Hedman header question

3 year old thread and the OP hasn't been active since 2011.

The clearance issue with headers and manual rigs is the Z bar that actuales the clutch. The auto trucks don't have a Z bar.
