Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I installed Hooker Competition headers on my 71 Chevelle and did not have any trouble. I think I had to install by coming from below. I jacked the car up and slipped them in.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Re: 72 malibu smallblock -- headers
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I bought the "standard" Hedman 1 5/8" for my '70 and they've been trouble-free since I got them in '98 or so. Seems like a lot of people have complained about installing Hooker headers. -Dave, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bill Willis Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 7:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Re: 72 malibu smallblock Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I believe rating on the engine was about 165hp when I looked it up.
