    Looking for a set of headers. My car has the factory 4-speed with the clutch bell crank. I can't find anything that will fit, and I can't use the factory manifolds (built engine). I don't want to modify the shock towers and can't seem to get any information on the repro HiPo manifolds. Shortys would be fine. Any help?

    Dont't know if you already solved your problem but on Cometcentral.com a guy mentioned he ran Doug's Tri-Y's on a 64 Comet and claims they were a perfect fit.

    Hi MD- I saw that entry, and I've purchased a set. Haven't installed them yet, just got car out of the paint shop. Thanks!

    If the Dougs don't fit to your liking . My son used Sanderson shorty on his 64 Falcon fit like a glove , We installed them with out rising or tilting the engine.
