Default BB spark plug shields

I have a 1967 with a 427 , it had headers on it and am putting exhaust manifolds back on it. What did it have for spark plug shields on it? If it didn't have any on iy new what are people using on it now?

This is what you need. Don't forget to purchase a set of L headmark bolts to accompany them.

Do you have the stock heads on it? Not all big block heads had the bolt boss for fastening the shields. If stock Corvette heads they will be there.

67's did not have spark plug shields or the threaded holes in the heads to mount them. 65's & 66's did.

And even if you were dealing with a 65 or 66, the header flange will cover the bolt holes for the spark plug shields. There is also a good chance that the header tubes would interfere with the shields anyway.

Yes they are stock heads, and we got exhaust manifolds from Corvette Central they are not original though. The heads do not have the holes for attaching barrel heat shields.
