One new complete set of Pertronix center dump street rod headers for flathead V-8. Headers are ceramic coated, with attachment hardware. Never installed. They will not fit my stock 1946 Ford Pickup with stock steering box.

Will they fit a stock '52 Ford F-1?

When you say they didn't fit your '46 ford pickup, what was the interference issue? Looking at my '52 Ford F-1, it seems the only tight clearance issue is at the rear exhaust tube. I have about 3" clearance measured perpendicular from the block at the rear exhaust port to the nearest surface of the steering box. Otherwise the clearances seem fine for my '52 F-1.

Let me know, as I'm interested in the tight tuck headers.
