Scan's not the best, sorry about that.

Thans for all the helpful insight! :D

BTW- I believe you can order Clifford Headers from Laysons Restorations @
http://laysons.com might be quicker than directly through Clifford.

I strongly suggest dutra duals setup. You'll regret headers sooner or later on a street car. your feet would boil, your low end torque is gonna go to hell, in about 3 years you'll end up having to replace all the sistem... that if you don't cook up your transmission...

I think that sometimes you´ll tend up to misappreciate what one can get easily. If I´d live up there I´d have bought doug´s setup with no hesitation at all. Customs fellas and pricey income merchandise taxes leaned me the other way.

I differ from you Argentina-slantsixer My Uncle got a Super Bee (Demon in USA) with headers since 6 years and no problem has show up, also another uncle got a 72 Duster with headers since 1987 and no problems with transmission or other stuff, I think Headers Garcia know how to make headers form Chrysler cars

Ye gods. Either of those two is bad enough. The thought of multiplying the two of them by each other is enough to make me want to lock myself in a cabin in the woods with nothing but a 55-gallon drum of whiskey...and I don't drink alcohol!

I also differ from my suggestion to katrina. I have headers, a complete dual setup with a nice custom work made on my car. But I believe that cañossilen here in argentina is a lil bit too far for being an elegible option for her. This guys has been working with custom headers since '50's and they sure know they way around that. But I've seen clifford headers, and mopar performance headers, and they suck IMHO. If my choices where clifford, MP or dutras I'd go with dutras for sure.

I've had a set of Clifford headers in my '66 for years. They have not rusted out yet, and fit reasonably well. I have even driven it in the winter with no choke as both a 1bbl and a 4bbl. Last time I drove it in the winter it was -7* and it started right up. :shock:

Er...yeah. Thing is, that ain't normal. Your carb has to be set SUPER ULTRA MEGA rich to be able to do tricks like that. Checked your gas mileage lately?

I had a '65 that suddenly became amazingly easy to start and drive from cold, in winter, without using the choke. Also suddenly, at the same time, it started getting less than 10 miles per gallon. The power valve (Holley 1920 piece of garbage) had fallen apart and the carb was dumping massive amounts of fuel into the intake tract at all times.

I have been running clifford headers for a year and a half now with no problems. I do use a manual choke and add heat to the intake in the winter. I get 16.5mpg beating it around town and I got 19.5 for the entire trip to Carlisle and back(it only took one tank to get there, cruise a littl bit, and get home). Plus they were cheap, $75 used at the swap meet at Carlisle.

Given that, your mileage is entirely believable.

Eso es importante Argentina Slantsixer, Headers Garcia tambien trabajan desde los 60 y por eso son los mejores en Mexico para autos de los 70, curioso ya que para autos modernos no salen buenos en realidad

Sorry for writing in spanish folks.

masomeno lo mismo por aqui, guey, solo que los cabrones de cañossilen tienen hijos que han mejorado el negocio en los coches nuevos. Para los autos viejos, los pinches viejos. Los hijos han hecho unas maravillas que ni te cuento con cosas como neon, gran cherokees, fiats (puajj que asco) y eso

sorry guys, is nice to BS in spanish once in a while too.

Actually, I don't mind that at all... it's a nice courtesy to those whose first language might not be English. On the other hand, you'd be extending the courtesy to the rest of us boorish American monolingual slobs, as well, if you'd repeat the same paragraph in English. :)

I don't know how we got to where we are as a country. But, your Latin American presence is not only welcome, but really cool. I like that Slant Six fans from Finland, Argentina, Mexico, Canada, and the US can hang out. This is what I was hoping from my 4th grade pen pal program, but never got. Remember, though, that most of us Americans are pretty poorly educated in other languages and cultures. ( I say this as a guy who has two degrees in, and works in, Geography)

[Edit] I forgot the Aussies and Kiwis. They know lots about how to hotrod the /6. I would love to see what their cruise nights must be like!
