Any ideas, other than denting the header?

I had a set of edelbrocks do this to me.
I called edelbrock up, and they replaced it free of charge.
said on some of these trucks, the stearing box is just a hair closer to the motor, so when you romp on it the motor twists, and vibrates on the steering shaft.

Yep, I have it when I turn the steering wheel also and romp at it. The steering shaft neck looks like a camshaft lobe and knicks the header.

I went to a junk yard, got a shaft off a wrecked truck, cut out the center section and replaced it with a smaller diameter and longer peice of solid steel that I had made by a buddy that works at a machine shop and welded the ends back together making sure everthing lined up. works like a champ.
