C-3 header help
PUT ON NEW HEADERS ON MY 76 350. I NOW HAVE 2 ISSUES.
1. I HAVE ONLY 3" OF GROUND CLEARANCE. HEADERS ARE 18" FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OF COLLECTORS. SCRAPPING JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IS GETTING OLD.
2. MY A/C BRACKETS AND COMPRESSOR NOT LONGER LINE UP.
IS THERE A WAY TO FIND A HEADER THAT IS SHORTER?
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A DIFFERENT BRACKETS AND COMPRESSOR TO INSTALL SO I CAN MAKE MY WIFE HAPPY?
I KNOW GOOD LUCK ON THE SECOND.
ANY HELP OR INFORMATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Regarding the ground clearance - Check the condition of your transmission mount. If it is original, it gets compressed and lowers the back of the trans which tilts the engine back and lowers the collectors.

Installed long tube headers on my 76 and they fit fine.. Clearance will always be an issue so take it slow over speed bumps..
In reference to your wife and the AC problem.. I don't know what to tell you there.. ..but good luck..
