Hooker Header ?

[71chally416]

That pipe is not the problem it appears to be with the wires. Plenty of room to route them clear of the heat.

Sorry to drag out an old thread...

I called Hooker on the 5115's and got two pieces of info that have me more confused than ever.

The tech guy told me that the 5115's should clear fast-ratio pitman and idler arms, but he also said that the center (drag) link does go through these.  Does he not know what he's talking about?

Is anyone using the 5115's with fast-ratio arms?

Both Doug's and TTi have assured me that their headers will not clear the fast-ratio steering.

It doesn't sound like it.

On mine they don't....

Same set I have on my T/A. Hooker # 5115. Fit great and have never had an issue with the plugs or wires on 5&7. Even used the stock starter with plenty of room. I just put a set of Dougs on my vert. Only setback was having to use a mini starter. The tubes on the Hookers are larger than the Dougs. Don't have the fast ratio arm on my T/A, never had any rubs or clearance problems.

Thanks for the pics!  Looks like there's a lot of room between the center link and the tubes.  Curious as to what happened to your passenger side tubes. . . tranny leak?

Guess I've made my choice.  Anyone have any experience with the Milodon Lo-Pro Oil Pans (30941)?

I have them on my Cuda and they fit great. I would probably buy them again if I had to.
#5 & #7 plug wires are not problem , plenty of room...
Hooker 5115..is correct..

  More likely an oil filter leak, have to be carefull as the oil makes a mess.

Hooker has Comps and Super Comps,the regular Comps go under the center link.I have had mine on for over 10 years and love `em although they are getting somewhat rusty and need to be redone.

I run the supercomps ( 1 3/4) with powersteering+90* oil filter adapter. the only thing they have a problem clearing is the shift linkage, it justBARELY taps the collector flange when putting it into park. Nothing a slight amount of grinding cant fix (we're talking about a milimeter). They also have good clearance for the spark plugs, could get to all of them pretty easy and I never have a problem with the boots being too close.  they really just fell into place, much nicer than most of the late model fuel injected cars I have done headers on....better have a few boxes of heat shielding/wrap for those LOL

Dredging up an old topic, has anyone run the 5115 with a 4 speed?  I'm test fitting mine currently and it looks like the clutch fork is too long and wants to occupy the same space as one of the tubes. Do I need to shorten the fork? I've tried looking around the net briefly for any info on it and have come up empty handed regarding 4 speeds. I've seen some details on possibly modifying automatic linkages, but nothing on manual transmissions

[Chryco Psycho]

I know a Challenger T/A with 5115 headers & a 4 speed , not sure what the length of the clutch fork is though

My #5115's are on my 'Cuda.  Have them on with and without  power steering and both transmissions with no problems, but I did put a mini Mopar starter on and one tube is very close , so I put a piece of orange fire shield/cover on the starter end and problem solved..

I have 5115s on my 340 Cuda; just installed this summer. They go OVER the steering link so that guy at Hooker was confused with the standard Hookers which do go through it. I have a 4 speed clutch linkage, and there is no interference. I use a standard starter; again,, no probs, and it will take the long oil filter, which the lower grade Hooker will not; and there is not the spark plug interference with the 5115s either.  I do not have as much ground clearance as I wanted but oh well.

Okay, played with it some more tonight. Observed the following:

With the header dropped and the fork installed, I can't pivot the header high enough to bolt it in.

With the header installed I can't get the fork low enough to place on the pivot and throw out bearing.

With the header, z bar and adjusting rod installed, I can see where there might be enough room for teh fork to fit.

Sooo, I took the pivot off inside the  bell. With the header and z bar installed, I can manage to get the fork in without the pivot. Doing this makes it appear there may be just enough room for it all to fit, provided the static position is with the Z bar far forward and it doesn't travel more than a couple of inches at the end of the fork.

So, looking at this, it appears it may all fit. So, I have to wonder if there is an assembly sequence that makes this go together easier or if there is a combination of loose headers, loose clutch parts, and loose engine mounts that are necessary.

And I haven't even tried getting the starter in yet.
