Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Doug headers for Gremlin V8

[Davis <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I must say that is not correct. Hooker has different headers for gremlins then large bodied cars. Small tube headers like black jack if you can find an old set were made to fit all Amc dogleg cars but the real performance larger tube headers are not one size fits all. Hop the Dougs fit for you tho. For the money the headman headers are an ok header. 

The ones I refered to earlier are custom made from a spirit chassy. The thread on it is in the Amc forum. If you post a question I'm sure someone on there will point you in the right direction. I don't have access to a computer or I would find it for you guys. Definitely the best if you can get him to make ya a set. I'm going to buy a set soon if he will make them again. I believe they are 2" primary tubes and come apart.

Correct, they don't specifically have a listing for Gremlin when you look up Dougs Headers, but if you look up all the other header brands,, the part number for a dog leg port header is the same for Jav, Gremlin, Hornet, AMX.. SO, I took a chance that by ordering the set of Dougs headers for a Jav,, it should work in the Grem. But I will find out for sure if they work this weekend, when I stuff them in the Grem.

> I ordered Hooker Super Comp headers (ceramic coated) for my 401 in the grem and when I got them, I was so disgusted with the quality, that I sent them back.. I ordered a set of Dougs Headers (ceramic coated #D103) last sunday night from summit, got them yesterday, Quality and design looks to be 100% great. I will be installing them this weekend, and let ya know how they fit. Caution: Those Headers on the E Bay ad are rectangle port, even though they list them for the 70's gremlin that should have dog leg ports.. Keep that in mind when you order any brand header, to make sure they are the port shape that you need.
