I put hooker comps on my 67 about 5 years ago. The only problem was that freaking bolt behind cyls 6 and 5. You'll need a open wrench with a bend in the middle. I took a torch and heated mine and bent it to produce a 45 deg bend. i think some stores sell wrenches with the bend like this. I didnt have to tilt the engine or anything like that. Just removed the starter,and tranny lines (auto). Once you get them up in next to the engine, I would start the bolt that has a slot in the header flange. Then slide the header flange onto the bolt. The bolts are a pain. You'll just have to stay with it. skinned knuckles and all. I would put anything up that you might throw when upset. You will. Keep the children away, cause you will cuss. One other note. If you have an auto tranny, you will be way better off by fabbing new tranny lines out of brake line from the parts store. bend them out of the way of the header and leave room for the oil filter. To do this, route them up towards the firewall then to the fender well. You can get creative with a tube bender and form them towards the radiator. I routed mine parallel and used insulated clips to hold them in place. This makes changing the oil filter a breeze and if you ever need to change the headers (pray you dont) you wont have to remove the tranny lines.
