Re: Poly with TTI Header Installation

["dennis.1963ply" <dennis.1963ply@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Nick,

This might send twice?  I seem to have a draft someplace but I can't find it.  Thanks for the words of encourgament that it can be done.  The hardest part was getting the bolt in the hole and getting it started.  I shortned the bolt a little and put a very strong magnet on it so it would stick in the hole until I could get it started.  Then with the help of an "L" shaped wrench I got it started and snugged down.  I just need to go around all of them and get everything tight. 

This is a 318 that is now a 392 under the guidance of Gary P in San Diego.  I didn't need the headers for a street car but the looks are worth the effort.  GRC in Lakeside, CA did the machine  and assembly work.  They have a dyno, here are the results, nice for a driver.  Torque 445 ft-lb at 4,000 and 376 hp @ 5,500 with a 670 cfm Holley.  Now I need to get my act in gear and put the rest of the car together.  I attached a picture, not much to see but some nice headers on a Poly.

Thanks Again

Dennis C.

Dennis,

 

That is the famous bolt most of us had to deal with and the power steering box does not help blocking easy access. I'm trying to find my special wrenches and photograph them. I took an open end and a box wrench, ground down the OD, and bent the stock for a perfect fit. It did allow 1/8 to 1/4 inch turn at a time. Rest periods are required, blood flow returning to the arm, maybe a coffee break. Find a wrench  and see how to bent and grind it to fit.

Hello,

I am trying to install TTI Headers on a 318 Poly in a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere.
  Finally I have all of the header bolts in except one and that one is getting close to impossible.  It is the lower bolt of cylinder #5 which is the third one on the driver's side.  I can get it in the hole but so far I have not found a way to turn it with my fingers or any tool to get it started.  I am using the bolts that came with the headers.    Even though I really don't want to I have considered pulling the header back off of the driver's side and installing studs in the difficult locations.

 

I am working  on jack stands so I have limited ways I can get my hands up the the header flange.  Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Dennis C.
