Thanks for all the advice on the Headers!

Ron H,
Are you using the O2 sensors to determine your fuel mixture? Are you using them on both headers? Do you have a gauge in your dash that gives you the info?

DM_Fan,
What is the difference in the standard coat and the ceramic coat? Is the ceramic coat a good coating to have? Is there a better coating?

Thanks, Dave

I am on my second set of doug's headers. First set was uncoated. My second set was only available coated. I like them and will buy again. Only problem is oil stains. Any way to get stains out? I tryed brake clean, simple green and so on.

I used mag wheel cleaner spray. The formula for rough cast wheels. Works pretty well, spray on-wipe off.

I have an Edelbrock Air/Fuel ratio monitor. It comes as a kit. Only 1 header has the bung and O2 sensor.
I bought this for cheap from a guy who never use it. If i was to buy a new one it would be a better one with dual sensors.

Question Question?

I've seen "Doug's Headers", "Doug Thorley" and "Headers by Doug". I've heard that the original "skinny"? I have a set I purchased from Milt Schornack several years ago and hee claims to have had them for many years. I trial-fitted them on my '69 LeMans and was very impressed as they were a close fit but touched nothing and required zero tweaking, prying or denting. I had Hooker Super Comps on our '64 race car and had to grind some of the A-frames for clearance. The tech guy at Hooker called that "typical" for older cars! Just FYI.Ron

Like I said, the standard coating is something Doug's no longer offers, but I managed to find the webpage Pypes created to explain the difference between the standard and Ceramic coated options.

I hope this helps:

I'm guessing that you meant pictures of installed headers but in case you wanted uninstalled pics, here is a picture of D564C 64-67 GTO D-port

Thanks DM, just found the same pic at Summit. I'm wondering about the ease of accessability to the number 4 bolt on the pass side. Curently have a set of hooker super comps & they are a b****.

It can't be as hard as Super Comps, it just can't . . .
