Default Hooker Super Comp Header Installation On A 1970 B Body

I am getting ready to install Hooker Super Comp Headers in a 1970 Dodge Charger. The engine is a 383 Magnum with air, automatic, and power sterring. Anyone had experience with this installation that can tell me what to expect?

I've done them ona 70 Road Runner. Pretty much the same car. Straight up installation. No problems what so ever. Should be a breeze for ya.

Thanks for the info. Do you mind verifying that you did the hooker super competition headers and not the hooker competition headers. Also, did you have to dimple them for any of the suspension/steering etc? Finally, did you install them with the engine and transmission already in the car and if so, did you have to remove one of the motor mount bolts to "rock" the engine to get them in?

Super Comps. No dimples. Engine and tranny in the car. Passenger side fell in. Raised the engine to get the drivers side in. Pwr. steering box too.

Passenger side needed to go in from the bottom on my 67 GTX with a 440.

Well I got them in. I had to come up from the bottom and tilt the engine on both sides. I also had to turn the wheels to the far right to get the passenger side in. On the driver side, you need to remove the dipstick as well. Thanks for all the help!
