Working thru the initial fitment stage of my 55 Chevy build. While checking the fit on a new set of Hooker headers I find the collector flange on the passenger side is angled towards the middle of the car, while the driver's side is straight relative to the car. Looking close you can see the flange isn't square with the collector tube. It appears to be welded on crooked. Driver's side is square with the tube. I spoke to a tech at Holley and was told, unconvincingly, that this was correct, designed to clear the crossmember. As you can see, this makes no sense. Before I cut this off and re weld it, or weld my mating flange on crooked to compensate, I thought I'd ask for opinions. How would you proceed?
