I am in the process of purching a 1962 Tempest. I have a thousand questions but i will only ask one at a time. I hope my time at Norwalk looking over what other people have done will answer alot of my questions.

Question 1. Are there any headers from another Pontiac model that will fit the 62 Tempest? Or do I have to coustom build them?

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you must have an electrical problem.

Headman shorty headers for a 62 will work. But you will have a spare for the wrong side.

Your welcome GT!! Pictures really do not do this color justice. Seeing it in person is so much better. I first saw this color on an all original 62 Tempest four door at the POCI convention in Charleston WV and then about 10 cars down the line on a 62 Bonneville. So keeping my Gold car original was a no brainer!! Can't wait to see your car GT!!

Gary
