"Black Jack" Headers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DirtyBurb86 · 02-07-2005, 07:01 AM

Anyone ever heard of "Black Jack" headers? I saw a set on eBay that I'm thinking about picking up (AIR Injection!!). If anyone has info regarding the reputation of the company or quality of their products, I would definitely appreciate the low-down.

I have a 20yr old set on my Z/28 and love them.........they tuck-up nicely and the Alumin-Coat on them has held up well.
That company went belly-up or something many years ago so we might not be talking about the same company..........somebody might have bought the name.

I put them on my 79 in 81...been there ever since. Don't know about the ones your looking at but, I had to do a little crimping on the tubes to allow for spark plug removal and installation. Mostly on the #3 cylinder. I'd call them budget headers, but they havn't rusted through in 23 years! But then again, I live in the desert south west.

I live in Southern California, so rust is thankfully not a big concern. For me, the big attraction to these headers is the fact that they have AIR Injection ports already installed on them (gotta stay smog compliant). Hopefully, if the auction goes my way, I should have these for around $50 in about 18 hours!

BTW - I better not see any of you fellow boarders outbidding me either ;-)
