I found some cheap ceramic headers from hedman but they say I need to alter ther altinator location. Or do all long tubes need the alt to move?

My 383 is choking so this is my next mod

You have to fab up a brace for the rear of the Alternator, similar to what it has stock. You do not have to move the Alternator. They do not effect the steering in any way. There should be some info in the Search section.

I got TPIS long tubes and run stock alternator and steering. My only gripe is the need to dimple #7 tube for the straight plug heads.

Never go uncoated! Never.
