new headers, linkage problem
Finally put hedman hedders on my 78 dent with a 79 400, auto c6. Now its a pain to get into drive. Forget first or second gear. I plan to pull the linkage rod and heat and re-bend the rod. Has anyone else had to do this after installing headers on their 2wd. What did you do? Also have to replace the dip stick tube cause I boogered it up putting in the new pipes.

Yeah you have to bend the linkage in a little.
Since I do not use the kickdown I just swapped the rod to the inside of the lever on my truck, not sure if the tranny mounted NSS allow that though.
