Default Header Question
My son and I are doing a warmed up 350 for our '76. We are installing headers and I was wondering what others have done as far as securing accessory brackets that were on the stock manifods.

Check with the manufacturer of your headers to determine whether any specialized brackets are required and whether they provide them.

Just off hand I think the A/C compressor and the stainless plug wire guides.

Yeah I don't remember if an AC bracket with mine or not since I swapped out the stock AC for vintage air, they supplied everything...

the a/c bracket was my worst problem. it took some extra work to make a spacer for the main bolt, but maybe they have a better bracket now.
