i'm restoring my 67 ss 396 chevelle and it has the black hooker comp headers,i want to replace them with a ceramic coated header.which is best for price and fittment and for changing the spark plugs?


thanks! chris

I used flowtech from Summit.Good price and fit.

Heddman 1.75 coated PN 68196

Diddo on the Heddman... I have them in my 67 BB

Also a vote for the Heddman

Me Four!! Heddmen 68196. They fit and look good! Mike

Those Heddmans are the ticket!

Doug's Headers get my vote in every category except price. They are high!

A lone vote for the 1.75"/3" Dynomax cerma-coated headers graemlins/thumbsup.gif

not for a 67, Bob. Good on the 68-72 though.

Ditto on the Headman 68196 :D

Sorry,, gotta go with the 2" Hookers,, perfect fit, no dents,, no brainer

I went with nickel plated Doug Thorleys. The Hookers did not fit as advertised. The headman headers worked but the Thorleys look great and flow real well. They just dropped in.

thanks guy's! on the Headman 68196 was there any tube dings to make them fit?

chris

hedmans for sure I didn't have to dent them at all.

What size primaries do you want to run.

I have never heard of anyone needing to dent the 1.75" Heddmans, but I have seen posts of other brands needing to be dented.

Wow the headmans look good will they work on a zz502 as well?

well i have 2" hookers on there now.i could go alittle smaller because the motor is a mild 396.
so either a 1 3/4 or 1 7/8 with a 3" collecter?


chris

with the heddman 68196 how is it the change the spark plugs? are they easy to get to?

No problem!

Bill

I hate to say this but I had to dent the passenger side tube on the hedmans to get it to fit and it still hit the lower control arm mount and yes it has the original BB frame mounts with the correct motor mounts. Hooker 2" super comps fit like a glove.

I have the 2" Hooker and I had to dent them for the steering shaft.

Have to agree with above...had to mod lower control arm mount to clear Hedman 68196 ( Original BB mounts)

Mike

would you guy's know if the dynomax 86110 will fit a 67 ss chevelle? i looked in there catalog and it said yes, but i've heard different on this site?
