First I love my headmans. seal is good and I use a mini starter with them so no burned up starter. Best ones I ever had were by Tubular Automotive in Boston. but they are like 1500 bucks now.
The hookers you need are the HOK 7105 The 7103 will not fit...not even close.
Hey everyone, here in a question for you that have headers or have used them. I have them on my SC/360 and they suck. I don't think I have ever found a decent set of headers that don't burn up starters and seal properly at the heads; have tried them all since the 70s; Hedman, Cyclone, Blackjack, Hooker, you name it, ok, have not tried Headers by Ed but those were $1200 a set, but are supposed to be the best ones ever made. Also have not tried any of the new shorty headers. So any comments and suggestions, feel free to fire away, and please be sure to copy your reply to Randy & Linda below also and thanks in advance to all who might reply.

Subject: headers to fit 73 hornet
Hello
Eddie
I have a 1973 hornet hatchback, just built a 401 motor. I want to put the hooker super competition headers onit. Part number HOK-7103HKR, these are 1 7/8 inch tube diameter. they are a full length header 30 inch. I need to know if these will fit my into my car. without any modification. I currently have 1 5/8 inch headmens. The HOK -7103HKR are for the 68 through 74 amx and javelin . I don,t know if the engine compartment and cross frame on the hornet is the same size or demensions as the amx and javelin I need to know if they will fit before i make a purchase. Hooker does make a 1 3/4 inch that is made for the hornet but i want a 1 7/8 inch header for the motor i,am building.
please advise
Thanks much Eddie
HAPPY EASTER
