I have a bone stock original 62 comet with a 170 and a 2 speed automatic. Trying to get it running better and modernized. The exhaust manifold on the car is cracked, and I'm thinking of replacing it with the (in)famous eBay /Amazon / Vintage (Classic) Inlines/ DNA headers that can be had for ~130.
As I've been doing research, it appears as if:
1) the header/starter needs to be modified for clearance. Most installs seems to be people denting the header.
2) I'm currently running a generator, and was hoping that I wouldn't have to change it out yet, will the header fit with a generator? All the videos and posts I read people are running an alternator needs a longer bracket, a 289.
Is there anything else to be aware of before installing?
