Hey Harold, Where are you located? That would help determine who would be a good candidate to test fit them for you. It's good to see you post. Hope all is well with you. I bought a set of your headers for my '72 Dart with a 318. Looking forward to hearing how the progress goes with the Slant 6 headers. |

can someone explain "two step" headers? is that a 3 to 1 item or a change in collector type? |

Harold is in north west Arkansas. I was supposed to test fit them on my 66 Valiant and 66 Cuda. One with a 170 and one with a 225. But I have been too busy to be able to remove the manifolds/headers from the cars at this time, and Harold wants to start building them. Any volunteers? |

Harold, I would be happy to test fit those headers on my 66 Valiant racecar with 225 automatic. I could make some measurements to see if they will fit with a 170. I have a 170 block, but not in a car right now. I am located in Blacksburg, VA, zip is 24060. Let me know how we should proceed. I have various intake manifolds I can check fitment with too - stock, offy 4bbl, clifford 4bbl, weber side draught, offy 2X1... Thanks, Lou Madsen |

I have seen the other post, I think I understand what you mean.is that a 3 to 1 item or a change in collector type? are these just for early a bodies (60's) or later (70-76)? are they intended to be universal? mini or regular starter? high or low position? |

You Da Man Harold!  I heard about Harold's Spitfire headers from a guy with a '65 Barracuda with a 360 in it. I saw it at a car show and was surprised to see nice fiiting headers on an early A body without cutting out the fenderwells. He makes a good product. And doesn't gouge you on the price like some other companies we all know. Thanks Harold! Really glad to see you back in action!

Harold, sounds like you've got your test fitters here, so I won't pursue it any further. MJ |

Harold.....How 'bout something like a 225 in an '80/'81 Mitsubishi/Dodge Challenger? Would you happen to have a pic you would be willing to share? Roger |

front view of '71 Dart with A/C compressor:  I may have a more helpful top / side view photo that shows proximity to manifolds more clearly (air cleaner removed)- |

Remember also the pre-'67 cars with A/C have the compressor mounted closer to the engine. |
