Good to see you finally have the 69 out and about! I know it has been quite a project to get it to this point!

On my 70 SS I jacked the engine up to remove the drivers side header. One tube was rubbing the brake distribution block and making a squeaking sound at idle. This car has a 427 with a very lumpy cam that caused the engine to jump around making the squeak unbearable. It seems to have started after I had the engine out for some work, I put new motor mounts on the engine before putting it back in, they must be a little different than the old ones.
Anyway, a torch and a ball pein hammer and no more squeak.

I have grown to hate headers.

I took them off, tired of fitment issues. Noise, heat, etc. It's not worth the hassle to me. Not to mention you can make plenty of power on stock manifolds with the right combination.
