Thx for answer

Have a 360 small block engine from 1972 .

On the firm feel homepage are some options
but it seems that this all are for Big Blocks  :clueless:

http://www.firmfeel.com/e_body_mopar_fast_ratio_pitman_idler_arm.html

Did everyone drive a Hedman Headers with the Firm Feel Stage 3 and Fast Ratio
Pitman arm and Idle arm ?
Which other Headers ( TTI , Mopar Performance , Hooker, ... ) could be install
without Problems ?
Could you give me also a Part Number do your recommendation ?

I thx alot for help  :cheers:

I believe the issue only includes BB engines that, when using any brand of headers , the longer fast ratio pitman arm (and the required longer idler arm... simply a C-body arm).. will have interference with the headers.

It doesn't matter about the ps box being stock, stage 1-2-3, etc... that is only the "firmness" you're getting. 
Autocross/road racers go in deeper... and come out harder!

It's funny how this thread keeps coming up over and over again.

Maybe a stickey would do the trick?

:iagree:
Exactly. Use whatever headers you like, unless you buy the long, fast ratio steering arms.
If $ is tight, buy Hedman, Got lots of $, buy TTI, they seem to be the best.
