Thanks for that Shayne! I've been tempted by the price of the new IPD header, but wasn't sure if it would be a good idea. I'll probably get one soon, as the price is definitely right.

I had problems with mine on my '65 1800... The IPD header I used came off a 122 that I had unfortunately had to scrap. The header is probably early '80s vintage. After finally getting it on the engine in the 1800 (after pulling motor mount bolts so I could push the engine over), the header was in direct conflict with the corners of the upper A-arm. I took the A-arm off, ground down the edges. Also peened in a small dent in the offending header tube. And installed one of them 3rd motor mounts that pushed the motor over a bit. After all that, I was clear by about 1/8".

It's also in conflict with my home made delco conversion, but not so bad that it doesn't work. Just limits adjustability.

No problems anywhere else though, and I've been most impressed with the quality of the unit. That header probably has about 400k worth of exhaust through it between two cars, and no sign of cracking yet.

And its purdy.

Damn I wish I had a 122 just like yours.
