Doug's list these headers for:
1967-74 Camaro
1968-74 Chevelle
1968-72 Chevy II, Nova
1968-74 El Camino
1965-70 Passenger Car, Wagon
1965-66 Chevy C10 (don't ask me why 65-66??)
The biggest issue was finding a header that would clear the CPP perches. The #1 tube dipped to low and would hit the driver side perch. First, I tried a set of Patriot ''Clippster'' Style headers, no where near right. Then I tried a set Hedman headers that were very close, but would not quite clear perches. I could probably have massaged them a bit or shaved the perch to fit. Then I saw these in the CCT mag article, had tons of room around the perch and were more of a long tube design (the others were shorty).
