    nope, there are a lot of listings as to what headers work so you will want to search a research for your setup. ;)

    they required removal of the rod that goes from column to the floor shifter assembly (factory) and after modding the steering drop down bracket i still ended up switching to manual so i could steer right. also they are up against the steering gear box which means i will have to repair that sooner even with wrap. thats just the short list but im picky too.

    hi, will the 6901 work for a 74 comet 302 v8?
    what is the difference between a comet and maverick engine bay wise?
    thanks
