I have a 69 Mustang coupe with a 351 Cleveland and I got the set of Hooker Comp. Headers for a 351C with 2V heads which is what my engine is. I am having trouble putting on the drivers side as it seems to be hitting the steering box (MANUAL STEERING). ANy help would be appreciated.

Welcome to header installation 101. I know you don't want to hear this, but the first tool you'll need to fix the clearance problem is a BFH. Tap a few clearance dents where it's hitting, and you'll be good to go. You're not the first one to have clearance problems with a header installation.
