The headers are made of SMC a version of fibreglass and you can build it up and grind it down until you have formed what you need. Been there.........Just my  :alan2cents:    :cheers:

When the car is cool and will turn over, check cranking voltage at the coil.  If you are at less than 9.5 volts then resistance in the primary circuit it too high.

Also check out the attached tech bulletin on ignition systems from 1969.  Perfect for your original points car.

The fact that the car won't turn over when warm makes me think it is too much resistance in the primary electrical circuit.  Wiring warms up, resistance increases and then voltage to coil is too low for good spark and not enough juice to turn the car over.  Wiring cools, resistance drops enough to supply enough voltage for it to turn over and run well for awhile.

I'd go through and clean up all connections of the primary electrical circuit and see if that does the trick.

Carb and coil issues aren't going to keep the car from turning over. :alan2cents:

Yesterday:
Finished necessary portion of dash and installed.
Completed rebuild of steering column and installed.
All plumbing for exhaust installed.
Starter wiring installed and wrapped with heat shielding.
Today:
4+ hours of nervous energy cleaning up and going over all that remains.
Turbo oil feed lines tight.
Fuel pump rewired.
O2 sensor hole temporarily plugged.
Full synthetic oil added.
Battery reinstalled.

Running out of excuses to test.
Not ready to start. Turbo drains are below car into a bucket.
Want to confirm they are oiling before attempting to start.
So close...

Wow so sorry to hear this.
Unfortunately the sole liability will fall on the Church.
Dude who was driving should stand up and help out. But we all know that is unfortunately a lost commodity.
Good luck with insurance.
Other option would be to personally go after him.

Give this guy a call. He's in upstate NY and he has a shite ton of Mopar stuff.
