From my personal installs I found that generally a header from a 64-67 A-body will fit a 68-72 A-body. The 64-67 have a little less room around the top A-arms on top. They have a curved transition going from the side rails of the frame to the cradle or X-member under the motor. Which takes up needed room in those areas.

The 68-72 have an almost 90 degree transition where the cradle meets the side rails.

So from what I have learned over the years is a set for 68-72 usually wont fit in those areas on a 64-67. I haven’t come across a set yet that of 64-67 that didn’t fit the 68-72. There may be some that don’t but I’ve never seen it yet.

I did just learn from another member hear about a week ago that the 455 70’-72’ A-bodys have longer frame motor mounts that hang about 2” off the back of the frame. So I personally don’t know in that situation.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
