i was reminded that i over simplified the right/wrong theory for the headers.
another area to look at is the direction the second and third driver side tubes
go.
 
the first set of headers i put on my car came off a super-bee, looking at some old
pictures, the front tubes are right, but i had to remove my tie-rod grease zerk and
put a "plug" in it and pound a very slight dent in the tube to clear the steering
on drivers side. (the header hit the tie-rod assy as the wheel turns).
those headers were tuned though, so the extra length of the pipe may have
been the cause?
 
looking at the picture of the summit headers, i wonder if they will fit into this
category, i could not get the picture to open for the hedmans. but if memory 
serves, the tubes in question angle toward the back as they go down.
 
if i read gary's response right, the elites must be the same headers as
the other hedmans, just heavier and coated.

Well, here are some more questions regarding the Hedmans.

I opened an email from Summit Racing this morning & ended up looking at
their in-house brand of Mopar R/RB headers. They only list one R/RB header
to fit various Mopars, P/N SUM-CSUM1341. The darkish photo of the header
made me think that it is actually the Hedman 78030, so I called Summit and
talked to their tech supt. Turns out that the Summit in-house headers are
made by FlowTech, a Holley company. The Summit guy only knew what the
actual FlowTech blurb said - that they fit 67-74 B-bodies, in addition to
some A & E's. So I call FlowTech and speak to their tech supt & he stated
that their P/N 13130FLT header is only stated to fit 67-74 B-bodies because
those are the only B-bodies that they have hung the headers on. Not much
info for me to go on other than a photo of a Summit/FlowTech header that
looks & appears to spec out extremely close to the Hedman 78030, but that
the Summit header costs $90 vs. $135 for the Hedman.

So I guess it comes down to this - Has anyone ever successfully used the
Summit SUM-CSUM1341/FlowTech 13130FLT headers. Or does anyone think that it
will fit an early B-body?

I know the $45 difference is not a lot of money, but I am trying to do my
330 on a budget to get it on the road by spring.

Thanks again.

Scott

... Also, Tom, here is a link to a photo on Hedman's site of the 78030
header.
You are 100% correct regarding the front most tubes running horizontal on
the 78030. Too bad that they don't have a pic of the Elite header for us to
see. Wonder why the collectors are not even? You would think that the
passenger side tubes could be a little shorter going into the collector so
that the collector's flanges would be even with each other. Oh well.
