Stahl Headers anyone? pix please?
« on: June 12, 2009, 11:46:38 PM »
So I spoke at Length with Jere Stahl today about headers for my Z>. I'm just not wiling to pop the 1500 for the repop ones, especially since they aren't correct for a 1969 no matter what...

anyway...

he states that inorder to clear with 1 3/4 tubes, I need to cut off my column reverse lockout arm... the only header they make in 1 3/4 is the new model 105.

i don't want to cut my column apart, in which he said that the old version (106) will fit w/ powersteering, but only in 1 5/8.

anyone have the 106 or 105 on their car.. and can I see a photo of how they look? and if there really is an issue with the column reverse lockout arm.

I suppose i could swap to manual steering.. but that would suck.

if necessary, i could find another column to bastardize, paint green, and install...

any help would be appreciated.

i'm trying to find the best set of 1 3/4 headers for my car, and I believe Stahl to be the ones, just don't want to have to do serious and unrepairable damage to my column to make them fit.

Thanks

Aaron

Go with the Hooker Super Comps. They fit perfect!  Sam

What about 1-5/8 to 1 3/4 Stahl step headers.  They make more power than Hookers and all of the generic headers out there,

My 1-3/4" Hooker Super Comps hit my steering box nut and I had to dimple the tube. Just a thought.
