Thanks Tom. Hooker headers may be a help. The headers on my 91 built in 90
318LA are rusting. They are Mopar Headers out of the 91 - 92 parts
catologue, tube or spaghetti type. Not available long ago from Chrysler. I
seen what I think were the same on a Shelby at National Trail, Columbus
6 or 7 years back. I'm trying to come up with the part # and see if any are
still around.
