Recommended Headers for 1969 small block?
Hi,
I have a 1969 small-block coupe (4 speed) and am looking to choose a set of headers. Hooker super comp 2134s look fine. Does anyone know of any problems? I plan to install VB and P's performance plus susoension. Will these headers clear this setup? Any other headers I should consider? Thanks

I just installed some Dynomax on my 73. They were a very good fit, easy to install and look great. I'm sure the Hookers would be a great choice too, they have always been known for quality.

I don't know about the '69 but I installed Hedman Elite's on my 79 L82 just a few weeks ago. Was a very easy install, didn't require any extra alt or AC brackets, and has the ball type pipe connectors that don't require gaskets. The only down side was that I had to use the correct short Vette oil filter and shorty spark plugs.

2nd vote here for Hedman Elite's. get them ceramic coated and the ball socket ensures a nice fit to the remaining exhaust system. you want a header with both the thickest tubing and thickest flange for which Hedman Elites are the only one I know of that give you both.
