I spoke to Jerry yesterday and asked about the P/B booster interferrence. He is going to a car show this weekend to look at some 55-56 Fords and get an idea what kind of boosters are being used. The #8 tube might be lowered if that would provide more clearance. The only set of these headers are 1500 miles away so all I have is a picture to look at.

Great Job, I think I will be needing a set of these in the near future along with one of your intakes. Now to wait on Teds results, but isn't the dyno mule getting modified? curious to see the comparison to stock duals.

Now to wait on Teds results, but isn't the dyno mule getting modified? Curious to see the comparison to stock duals.The dyno mule will be back in the same controlled format that was present when doing the other exhaust tests . The new ‘Tri-Y’ headers are here and have been ‘broken in’ while testing some other cylinder heads just to get a feel for what kind of collector extensions need to be on hand when the headers are run through their paces in a controlled test. The 312 dyno engine is currently doing cylinder head testing right now in between ‘paying’ jobs.

Paying jobs, whats that? everybody wants me to work for charity. Are you going to test the dyno mule with same combination that you did all the other test and make sure it is making the same power as a previous test?

I got some pictures today of the new headers for Y-Block cars. These are Tri-Y style and were built around a 1955 so should fit most applications. This set has 1-1/2" primaries but can be built with 1-5/8" . Secondary tube is 2". These headers will be sent to Ted for dyno testing.   Do you know if these will fit a '57-59 chassis? (non power brake)

Do you know if these will fit a '57-59 chassis? (non power brake)My understanding is that these headers will fit a ’55, ’56, and ’57 car chassis with a standard or automatic transmission. The '58/'59 cars were not mentioned in the conversation. I was also told that with a standard transmission, the column shift linkage in front of the firewall will not clear. I’ve already had these headers on the dyno mule and the left side header pulls in much more tightly at the bellhousing than some of the other headers I’ve had on the engine. That sure doesn’t hurt in regards to steering box or frame clearance issues.

John; my stock 292 2bbl with Holley 500 cfm runs smooth as silk. It's a driver and I go wherever I want to with it. Once upon a time i put a set of 3-dueces on it for fun but could never get them to stop stumbling and run as smooth as my 2bbl. I yanked them back off and went back to my stock intake. Now I'm thinking about putting your low-rise 4bbl intake on it just because I think it looks cool. Two questions for you: Will my stock 292 run really smooth as a driver with your 4bll intake or will I get into the stumbling kind of issues I had with the deuces? Secondly, how large of a 4bbl Holley would you reccommend on your 4bbl low rise? I am a complete novice here and only want a driver to cruise with.
