I'm being offered a set of older AFR 210 heads at a very attractive price. I need a set of Al heads for my El Camino coming up. Trouble is, they're slant plug. Is there any set of headers that are known to fit slant plugs in a Chevelle chassis?

From what I've seen over the years the #3 plug might actually hit the #1 tube, similar issue with #4 plug hitting #2 tube.

cutting the tubes and re-aligning isn't out of the question but rather not.

I ran into the same issue with new AFR210's. Had Hedman 1 3/4" headers that wouldn't clear #3 plug and these headers are for angle plugs. I went with Sanderson C12 headers. Clearance is great, easy access to all plugs. I do have to re-route the plug wires but that's minor. If you tell them what heads your using they can build to suit. At least they did with mine. Very nice headers too. They literally fall into place.

The Dynatech stepped 1-3/4 to 1-7/8 fit perfect on the 383 w the profiler heads. Installed with ease too. With the Performer Rpm heads no good with the spark plugs. For the Performer RPM heads the 1-5/8 Hedman Elite HTC fit great except for #4 spark plug. It also sucks having to jack up the drivers side motor to install that header.

The Dynatech headers are made great! But yeah they are pricey, but so are the Hedmans....
