64 comet caliente

well im redoing this comet, with 302 dual 4,s and 8 quart pan, its a 4 speed top loader, and im hopeing that hedman shorty headers will accept exhaust pipes, has anybody tryed those on thier car, any luck,, id be grateful for any leads before i buy these headers

I had them on my Falcon, but not sure what you're asking about the exhaust pipes.
Where are you located?

hi again, just wanna know if the header pipe going to the hedman shortys, will clear the z bar on drivers side, im located in mississippi gulf coast area

Nope....

Hedman used to put in their advertisments their equipment was manufactured for an Auto-trans. I have talked to folks who say they don't clear even the factory Auto-trans shifting linkage, unless you own one of the BIG cars.

I would assume then for any of the small cars then you need one of the cable operating systems.

You are going to be in for some pounding then.

Hedman shorty headers will fit, Part # 88400. I have these on a 65 falcon. There was some mods that had to be done on the drivers side.

what kind of mods,, do i have to make

The 88400 is suppose to be a direct fit for the comet/falcon setup. Most people don't have a single problem at all. However, I did. Mine would not fit on the drivers side because of the z bar linkage set up. The guy that installed them modified the header tubes so that they would fit. No big deal really. If I remember correctly maybe the 88400 are for an automatic trans, Not a manual. I really can't remember, But you shouldn't have any problems.

thanks for that info, should help me decide what to do

I did have to ding mine to clear the steering sector arm and the passenger side ended up being very close to the firewall with the down pipe.
They were a tight fit, but few others seem to fit without a problem or two.
