Apologies to TTI
I wrote last time about my problems with the TTI headers I decided to run on my Barracuda. After talking to TTI and the shop doing the work (B&T Custom in Sparks, NV) it turns out the problem isn't the headers, it's the Keisler 5 speed transmission kit. When they sent me the kit, instead of the 1963-66 A Body kit I ordered they sent a kit for the 1967-69 A Body. The tail shaft on the later kit doesn't allow the transmission to sit high enough in the tunnel which puts the engine at the wrong angle. This pushes the bottom front of the headers into the steering linkage, makes the driver's side torsion bar rub on the headers, and even causes fan clearance problems. I'm hoping Keisler will send me the right parts to correct this problem but so far I don't have much confidence. I know it's been awhile since I bought the kit but it was their mistake so I feel they should make could on it. It's bad enough paying extra labor to the shop to swap in the correct parts. Having to pay just to get the correct parts would be adding insult to injury. It was a fricken' $5000 kit...
