Hedman been around for a long time, Have had no problem. Just bought summit headers first time for my 302, they seemed to be well built, fit perfect and with a low cost.

What carburetor adjustments do you have to make when you add headers?

nick107 welcome! should not have to adjust carb. If one needed to, it was not right before installing header most likely.

I have used Hedmann Headers on a 351W, and was very impressed with the performance gain with them. I would highly recommend them. I would stay away from some of the Flow Tech stuff. I purchased a set for my 68 F250, and the were hell, the flanges were completely uneven, and there was no way they would seal unless I would have used in excess of three lair's of gaskets.
