Do you make headers for a 72 A body with E heads & auto on the column. What size are they. This car will be lowered and need ground clearance. Can you post pics? Thanks.

Yes, Ron, I just finished the backdrive linkage today while it was snowing outside (I was in my shop, thank goodness). There is about 1.5 inches of clearance between the rod to the reverse lever and the top of the collector, which, after I actually measured with a caliber, is about 1.5" below the frame, not .75" (my earlier eye ball guessing was way off). But this is with the 3" collector from the first order. The 2.5" version will be reduced to the 1" to .75" range. Nonetheless I can still go over speedbumps without hitting the pipes! I'll post pics in a few days. It is nice to have the reverse lights back again!

Alan

Hi Ron, Craig Pitcher here. I bought a set of your 1st run A-body headers and was wondering if anything changed with the 2nd run. I'm sure my headers will fit fine. Just curious. I'm also getting my K-heads ported to 310 CFM which should be a good test for the headers. Thanks, Craig

Ron, did the headers make it to the coaters? Are you expecting them to ship soon? How about an update?

Thanks,
Mike

Ron, love the new site!!! I see I got two quotes in the "customer" section!! That's awesome. Too bad I didn't take a bunch of pics when my motor was on the stand so you could include those. Anyway, it's almost a new year and maybe this will all start to pay off for you. Good luck.

Steve

Sorry to say this, but most folks have been waiting alot longer than November. I ordered mine in early June, and there were quite a few people in front of me.

I heard from Ron early in December, and he was having trouble logging into PY to post.

well i was hoping santa would see that i've been good this year(mostly) and deliver some headers to me. alas it was not to be. however this did get me to wondering how long some of you have been waiting for them to arrive? i just looked through some old email and payment receipts so i know how long i have been waiting (probably the longest). i'm a little hesitant to say how long as i feel a little bit foolish for waiting so long. how about you?

I was right about that time. I had to get it in before March 1 to get in on the order. Man alot has changed since that time huh! :P

I am hoping that he got them made and to the coaters. I really want to put headers on this winter!

From the looks of it, alot of people have been waiting a long time for these. I was interested in getting a set. If I have to put my project on hold for a year or more to wait for these I think I will have to do something else.

FWIW, it seems as though Ron has not posted on this site since Nov. 28th. He posts regularly over on PZ (if it is the same tunnel port) but does not advertise his headers over there. Curious?

I called the number on his website, left a message, If I dont hear anything back by next week I'm filing for a refund with PayPal.

Maybe he's got too much on his plate, if thats the case dont string people along, making statements like "I'll send them to the coaters next week"
when you've got people waiting for a year already.
Take care of "old business" then go for "new"

No response to emails in over a month,
No explanations = POOR business practices...Period
