Technical Need help with a Hooker number

Header that is ! I have a pair of Hooker sidemount headers part number 6812 . They would fit a 351 windsor. I have a chrome set with the papers and they fit a Econoline van. These are built different so I am thinking they are for a pick up. The boxes are dated 1978 so if anyone has a 70's Hooker catalog and could help that would be great.

 

I have her number on speed dial..... oh you mean the header guy.

 

Have you checked with Hooker to see if they have info?
These fit 69/90 Econoline with a small block. https://www.holley.com/products/exhaust/headers_and_exhaust_manifolds/all_headers/
About three minutes of poking around on their site should show you what their current issue headers for a truck are.

 

For a second there I thought you wanted me to give up some black book phone numbers...

 

That is interesting I have another set with the same exhaust ports but the headers are made totally different and I have the instructions with that set and they are part number 6818 chrome and they are listed as fitting a Ford Econoline E -100 thru e-350 and does not give the years. I had 3 sets of Dodges and they were the same , not listing the years.

 

About three minutes of poking around on their site should show you what their current issue headers for a truck are.
These headers are 40 years old , I don't believe they still offer them.

 

8675309, ask for Jenny. Can't help you with the headers. Just a bump

 

I guess Jenny works at Hooker ? oh she is a Hooker ! I am still waiting on a car guy with a old catalog . I guess the part number would have a suffix of HKR.

 

Thought I would add a picture for those that don't know what a sidemount header looks like

 

Had a set of side mount big block headers on a Camaro.

 

The only thing they build them for now days are Chevies.

 

Tommy Twotone would be proud.

 

It's so easy when the question is loaded.

" The only on I knew retired" HRP

 

I figured my title would be good for a laugh anyhow.

 

Sorry, 78 is to recent
Ford van sidemounts

69 to 74 302; Black 6812 Chrome 6813

75 to 76 351; Black 6817 Chrome 6818

 

thorpe31, thanks for the reply. I have a set of 6818' and these 6812' the head flanges look the same to me but I am not a Ford guy. The thing that threw me off was the pipes are bent so different. I was hoping they were for pick up. But no big deal. I do appreciate your help !

 

I would guess that if they are offset to one side they are for a van.

 

They are offset for sure , the 6812' more so than the other set.

 

Can't help you there, even money only gets you so far...

 

You'd think Charlie Sheen wouldn't have to pay for it!

 

The early van would be offset more than the later.
You trying to use these?
A tape measure is a very handy tool.

 

No I am selling them, I just didn't understand the difference in the design . But not knowing the application makes all the difference. Then selling anything but local would be tough, the original boxes are all but dust. But they came 1 header per box and the boxes were 2' x 2' x 6' . I could see them being modified for a different chassis. I always liked the sound of side pipes.

 

I hear you on the sound of the side mounts.
The last set I sent down the road were breathing a 871 blown 496

 

I spent some of my formative years in the early 80' in a friends Camaro with a blown small block. The worst part was if you weren't paying attention you burn your legs in a blink of an eye.
