Title: HEADERS FOR 1969 CAMARO
Post by: Z28MIKE on July 25, 2020, 11:17:10 PM

HELLO, THIS IS MY FIRST POSTING.  ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.  I HAVE A 1969 CAMARO WITH A 1973 BLOCK, AND 1969 HEADS.  WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR ARE HEADERS IN WHICH I CAN REMOVE THE SPARK PLUGS.  THE HEADERS IN MY PRIOR ENGINE WERE HOOKER HEADERS, ATTACHING TO A THREE BOLT FLANGE.  THE OVERALL LENGTH OF EXISTING HEADERS I CANNOT USE, NOR WANT TO ARE 33 INCHES, AND THE 3 BOLT FLANGE IT TIES INTO HAS A 3 INCH DIAMETER.  ANY THOUGHTS AS TO WHAT BRAND HEADERS WILL WORK FOR ME?  THANKS, MIKE IN MN

My worthless two cents…
Hooker headers have always been in my experiences a pain in the arse. Fitment issues and extremely low hanging. And not worth the price. Now that said, Headman headers have (for me) been a better choice (and cheaper too). OR you can spend some big bucks and buy/make up a custom set. Remember, the small block Chevy head design is what it is…the plugs are below the exhaust. So, there will always be  some issues with plug installs concerning headers.
