i took my 69 out for a romp yesterday, and blew a hole in my # 3 cylinder header pipe, just below the head,, I have a 69 coupe, 350, 4 spd, a/c, anyone had the pleasure of making this change? Do I need to take them out from the top, or bottom,Also any recommendations, as to hedmann, hooker, jarvis ,,ect,,,thanks rd

I have Hooker side pipe headers (on a 1971 small block 4-speed). The driver side is tighter than the passenger side. The clutch cross shaft goes between two of the tubes, so it has to come out first
. With regular headers, you may be able to lift it out from the top, but I'm not sure. The steering box also gets in the way. Just have a lot of beer available and keep small children's ears out of cursing distance while doing the job!
