A few of you guys were discussing the "age factor" in the topic. Which may be true in some cases. My take on this, as with many issues, is the "experience factor". Over the many years, it seems people with no/little/limited experience wrenching... people who lack skills... people who frankly...
Yeah, done it a number of times, as with the Hooker comps on my current 70 RR. I know what you mean about memory, I'd done many over the past 55 years. I only remember the bitch jobs, and this ain't one of them.
I've installed Hooker 5903's a number of times over the past half-century. Including one of my cars presently. Nothing rarely "drops in" but if you possess a modicum of skill, it's one of the easiest installs to do.
Mopar or otherwise, the most problematic installs were due to other issues. Mounts being one of them. Back in the garage, we'd recommend new mounts during the install, since they'd be disconnected anyway, and it was a GREAT upsell. But in effect, it made our job easier.
Not needed. Why do you have 3 sets ? I've got studs on all except inside #1 and inside #2. Been doing it that way on this particular application since the early 70's.
Actually... yes ! . I'd encountered that same exact problem 50 years ago. And discovered that, to do that specific job, you use an open end wrench on the inside bolt ( can't use a stud ) on the #1 cyl with Hooker headers. When you gain experience, the job is .... EASY.
I started installing headers a half-century ago, or longer. Different cars, different brands. So, when I did my restoration on this one car a dozen years ago, I used one of my tried-and-true's. I don't recall what mini-starter is in the car.
