new pics of 32 build

actually if you look before you speak you will see he has been here a year less than me just long enough to learn how to be rude an attribute he seems to have passed on

 

Just been asked by a workmate and don't know the answer
Why do you Americans call them headers ? we call them extractors or at least the poms do
PS Thanks Ryan maybe one day I will get to drive it been 2 years so far with progress posts here from day one It's the doing things twice that takes the time ( you know made a mess of it the first time and sometimes the second as well ) Just didn't want the same as everyone else isn't that what makes us rodders or else we would all be in corrollas or electric cars
To the knockers aren't we all car guys ?

 

Every nut and bolt, all the welding, polishing, that rear suspension- all done by simon, It may not be a HAMB car but this guy has built this rod in his shed with his own two hands, please cut him some slack.

 

I don't know, but to me, building a car in your garage with your own two hands is "traditional" enough for me. So what if he's using "modern" technology. Thank God the guys in the 30', 40', and 50's were using "modern" day technology, or we'd all be sitting here running 4-bangers with one carb.

I believe simply to delineate the difference between manifolds and headers when used on performance engines.

The dictionary definition lists a header as a pipe that connects two or more smaller pipes.
But, that's just a descripion of a particular piece or area of manifolding and sounds more like what we call a collector.

More than likely somewhere along the line somebody joined multi-primaries into a single tube, called the single tube - correctly - the header and before long it was understood that the whole assembly was a header even though it was a manifold....

And this is probably a good place to stop cuz the whole explanation works from either side and would probably turn into a long discussion....
