Yes I have a 1978 montecarlo,w/355 smallblock.I have alum. angle plug heads,stock power steering,I'm running hedmans 1-1/2" now,wondering what hedders you guys are running and what size ? My hedmans had to be ding in places,for clearance issues,so would like to know if you guys think that hedmans are the way to go,really don't like the talk on here about hookers design,looks like schoenfields are designed the same.Getting ready to install X pipe w/air-fuel ratio gauge and with the cost of these hedders, I want to get this right,so any suggestions or pictures will be appreciated..

I would use at least an 1 5/8 header on there, but be sure they clear the angle plug head. Unless you turn 6500-7000 I don't think you need a 1 3/4 header.
