Fender wheel headers for 1966 Nova

.The fender wells or floor board on the car itself would not be the first one to have to modify a little bit with a hammer. My fender wells still have the marks from before I got it in early 80s. Tom

For what it is worth. In a Engine Masters issue about 3 or 4 months ago they did a dyno test for denting headers. I was amazed at how far they could close up the tube before a power loss. I would try to work around denting tubes but if needed it seems you can get away with it. Good luck.
