Title: FPA headers again
Post by: 62galxe on 2012-04-08 07:39
I was looking at FPA site and they show a different header for rack and pinion. Since my car is in many pieces does anybody know the difference? I got a good deal on a set but I doubt they are the rack and pinion version. It is a 390 / C6.

Not enough information.  I don't know much but here are some pictures that FPA sent me when I asked the same question about a 460 application.  I see that their website is no more helpful than it was five years ago.
Possible interference with the C6...just knock the ear off:

This is how I resolved the problem.  I'm going to shorten these so they will be more straight downward pointed.

oops. Forgot the part about it having a 390 C6 combo.
