? regarding headers
hey guys i need some quick help. I'm about to order a set of Hedman elite headers that are on Sale for $200 part#68308
hedman's website says they'll fit my 78 vette but a footnote says this
will these require any modifications to install. I can bolt on headers but I dont want to modify anything
and does this seem like a good deal
Thnx

Personally, I would not buy them with that clearance issue. Headers are a snug fit even when everything goes well.....I wouldn't want additional headaches. There are other brands that clear everything with no hassles.

I dont know if the disclaimer is for my vette. I'm a shadetree so i can bolt headers on but I can not modify. on a different forum i was told that the disclaimer was for (non-power steering cars) but I was checking with everyone because the headers are from E-bay and NON-returnable
Thnx

"Will not fit steering damper inside front crossmember."
The way I read this is, they will not work on non-power(manual) steering cars. IT may mean, however, that they will not work with power steering. Non-power steering cars have a "damper" on the linkage, where the PS cars have the control valve and cylinder. The disclaimer is a bit confusing on that point. You may need to contact them for clarification on that.
