Being mine is manual, I have to put an S-bend around the clutch mechanism or move the mechanism. undersided as yet.The headers finish over the the chassis rail pointing down and in on a 45*.
So if I removed the clutch mech. both sides would work into the X member with a couple of 45* bends a side.

Is there any after market replacement clutch systems available that you know of? Hydraulic etc.

CK what sort of clearances do you have from the column and chassis? Do you have power or non-power brakes? From what I can see the only thing that looks like not working is the brake line from the master cylinder down to the brass block on the chassis, looks like it would have to be rerouted.

I've wondered this myself. I seem to recall that Ted knows what it is. I did notice that the Sanderson Headers use a different sequence than the Rex Performance headers. For aesthetic purposes one would think that Rex would have swapped the position of the #1 and #2 tubes. Although if its not a performance issue it cold be a fitment issue.


I don't think it is for fitment, especially the right side, there is nothing to interfere with on the TBird. For aesthetic purposes bringing the centre ports to the outside and the end ports closer to the block would have come close to equalizing the primary tube lengths. On the right they mixed it, one out one in. On the left the centre tubes are close to the block and the end ports go to the outside. Not sure how important equal length is on a shorty header. The back tube on the left takes a strange path but I think that is due to restrictions on how close a mandrel bender can put bends close to each other as they are one piece tubes, not welded.

Just ordered some very expensive luggage, I'm sure Ron said he was paying for that.Smile
