Mopar 440 one header pipe is glowing red at idle.

Yes sir, I don’t have power brakes. I Also done see any uncovered vacuum lines

It was worth checking, give the carb idle screws a 1/2 - 3/4 turn open to feed some more fuel and see if the glowing header stays away.
Most obvious check to see if it is caused by a too lean mixture.

Yes sir will do. I have in inferred gun. Drivers side pipes run ~100 degrees hotter than passengers. “”Chugs whiskey””

Are you sure the jets are the same size, maybe the driver side jet is smaller then?

No, I am not sure. It has a Carter AVS. All I know.

If all pipes on the driver side are clearly hotter than the other side then it could indicate lean jetting on that side.
Obviously, at idle all fuel will come from the primary's, which is closest to #1 and #3 and will get a richer mixture compared to #5 and #7.

Not with a stock valve train....unless someone installed adjustable rockers or push rods.

so many dont know.
