Just seen these. Makes me feel like a sucker when I paid $240 for mine.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAINLESS-ST...lYw06W&vxp=mtr I just submitted an offer for $150 and it was declined... |

Says they fit '64 through '79....I don't think that's right.

The box mine came in said they fit 64-72. I have them on my 75 Lemans, which can use 2nd gen F body headers. Yes they are obviously round port, and I had to slightly open up a couple holes and ding one tube, but do a search and you will see there's no perfect set of on the shelf, ready to ship, thick flanged, stainless headers available at anywhere near this price point.

Looks good for the price no doubt but I always thought there was a cutoff between '67 and '68 A bodies as far as headers or RA manifolds were concerned. Maybe with headers everybody just dings them where necessary.?

I think they are, for the most part, about the same. I've read about brand X fitting great on this, then someone says they don't fit worth a darn on their same year car. I took one of my buddies Doug's headers for his 66 GTO and compared it to my 2nd gen Hedman Huslers and there wasn't much difference at all besides the #7 tube went down for clutch linkage.

I bought a set of them for my 70, they look exactly like the Dougs. I bought a set of Dougs and they didn't fit, called them and they said I would have to "ding" the tube to fit. I bought the ceramic ones for $750 and they tell me to dent the tube, BS! I bought the OBX header and dented the tube. I only had to open up a bolt hole or two to get the bolts to line up. I bought the round port ones, and I would buy them again for a car needing headers, if not RA manifolds are my choice.

Too bad they only make them for A-bodies.

Had to ding some tubes on mine and enlarge the end holes on the flanges but other than that they fit great.

Think the guy just wants offers and only will take price shown. Offered the guy 165 and was declined, so bought a set at the advertised price. I asked another vendor selling the same headers if he would sell at 165 and he said couldn't do it.

No, round port. They are basically Dougs round port knock offs.

on my 75 lemans I had to grind a little off the frame and motor mount on the drivers side, also dented the tube slightly, and opened 1 mounting hole a 32nd and elongated another a little.

Are they really stainless T-304 ?
At that price, it so cheap, that could be the starting point for a build if you hadn't bought heads. |

Sure wish they were 2" I.D. and 3 1/2" collectors.
