headers and clutch linkage on 80 j-20

[Tom Sill]

Anyone had problems w/ headers and 360. My clutch linkage is to **** close to the header at the collector no matter which way I spin the collector. I've got new linkage bushings, the white plastic pieces, and the linkage had grease. I kind of wish I would have left the stock manifolds on.

Amen Tom...headers are a PITA. I've run them on a lot of rigs cause they're cheaper than new stock headers(used to be anyway but not much now a days for good ones) and I've never liked'em on any rig. Too many heat/bolts/warping/rust/fit probs etc. The last J-truck I bought has headers and dumping them and putting on a set of stock manifolds on is on my list of things to do.
