Why won't Hooker headers work with AFR heads???
What is different with the AFR angle plug heads that Hooker headers won't work, and will the Hookers work OK with my Dart Pro I angle plug heads.?..WW
Here is what it says on the 2149 and 2151 Hooker headers.. (212 - Does not fit with AFR angle plug heads).

Perhaps because of the "angle plug" part?
The plug angle would interfere with the header tubes?
I have no idea, just a guess.

The Hooker headers should work with the 180 or 195 heads.The exhaust port is raised .100", on those heads which usually isn't a problem, and use a standard L98 spark plug angle. The 210's, 220's 227's and 235's all have a .250" raised exhaust port which could cause some problems with some headers.

I have hookers and they fit fine with the afr 190 c.port. The only diffenences bewteen the 2149 and 2151 hookers are the A.I.R. and EGR provisions. I seem to remember that cylinder heads labled as l98, (even though an angle plug head), were different than others called an angle plug head. As to the dart 1 head, I have no idea.

I have AFR 1040s (195s) and Hooker 2151s. They line up well with the ports and clear the angle plugs fine.
