I also have another set of headers that a hooker too ,but they are 1 5/8 tubes and they fit ,its like the collecters on my old 1 5/8 headers are more inward ,closer to the oil pan.

I have raised exhaust port AFR's and Hooker SC's and they don't hit but are very close

I have the Hooker Super Comps 1 3/4" sbc, 73 Vette. They don't have any clearance issues with the floor. I just switched to a Motown block, and Dart Pro 1 230cc's. Now they touch my idler arm. I also just replaced the frame, so maybe there is a slight difference. It now has a 69 frame. It was real tight at the ilder arm before maybe an 1/8" clearance or so. Like I said now it hits.

I had to trim a small corner off the white plastic "insulator" or heat shield in front of the passenger footwell - on my '69. Don't know if later years had that piece on not. Other than that, the Super Comp fit well. Oh, I have L98 aluminum heads, don't know if that makes a difference.
