Those of you who have the Hedman 69230's, how did you get the passenger side on? My dipstick is in the way. I checked the application a bunch of times and it says it will fit. Pics if you have any would be great. Im stuck.

I think when I put my headers on I pulled the dipstick tub out and then reinstalled after the headers where on.

I just installed the 69830 (same as yours but coated)... I have a 400ci and my dipstick is on the driver side. But to get the passenger side header on I had to jack the motor up a bit by putting the jack with a piece of wood on the passenger side of the bellhousing cover. That tilted the motor enough to get the header to drop in.
Driver side was real easy with the dipstick. I went in from the top and then just dropped in pretty much.

I have the 69830 headers, which are the ceramic coated version. When I put my passenger side on, the starter was the main obstacle, I had to loosen it in order to get the headers up through from below. Mine's a '73 so my dipstick was on the driver's side and it wasn't an issue. The dipstick tube pops out easy enough though.
Thanks for all the help guys, wound up just bending the dipstick and loosening the starter like you said. They're on now
