i have a 71 challenger E body i think...set of summitt headers.. drag link is not going to work help in deciding if there is a new draglink or can i possibly replace the pitman arm
Correction to my post. 71 Challenger but I have the Hedman headers (from Summit). I see what you are talking about with the drag link. Did you have to bend or dent the headers where this comes across. I will do this tomorrow night but from inspection it looks like the stud will drag the top of the header pipe. Worried about the stud catching the headers.

First time header user. Lesson being learnedI have never understood why small block headers need to go under the steering link when big block never do ,
There are 3 types of header that stay above the steering link , TTI , Dougs & Hooker 5115 , why use anything else ?
Cost and availability were the deciding factors for the ceramic coated ones in my case. I didn't think (should stop here) that the routing issue would be a big deal. WRONG!I have never understood why small block headers need to go under the steering link when big block never do ,

Just went back and looked at your posts, didn't see engine call out. I have a 340 small block with Edelbrock aluminum heads. Nothing hits or rubs. Headers were unmolested.Correction to my post. 71 Challenger but I have the Hedman headers (from Summit). I see what you are talking about with the drag link.

318 standard block and heads. Changed to Edlebrock alum intake and Edlebrock 4bbl 650 carb, little more than stock comp cam, and added the Hedman headers. Has the 904A tranny in good condition. Looking at changing rearend to a limited slip for posi… any suggestions????Have the same in a 79 Trans Am and it runs well. Wanting to make the Challenger a better than stock cruiser that I hope will sound and run good.Just went back and looked at your posts, didn't see engine call out.
