You’ve heard it a million times. Headers don’t fit. Flowtech unequal shorty, stock 1988 5L. They’re rubbing the steering shaft. I tried unbolting the steering column and moving it, also ground some of the sharp edges of the knuckle joint but it’s still rubbing. I really don’t want to hammer a dent in that spot the nice ceramic coating will suffer. I should be able to slide the shaft out from the firewall more, moving the knuckle. How far can a knuckle joint angle until it won’t turn properly?

Any ideas are appreciated
