Default 73 SB OEM Ign Shield w/ Hooker Headers

Does anyone have any experience with trying to fit the original ignition shielding back on the vette after installing as set of headers? Specifically, Hooker Comp Headers?

I want to go back to as much as will fit and I don't have my original set. I know the distributor cover and vertical sides will fit, but from that point down how much more will bolt on?

If you have any pic that woudl be great.

Thanks

I don't have Supercomps, but when I installed my Hooker headers with sidepipes I left my original plug wire shielding on the car. I dont' have the shielding over the distributer, and never did.

That gives me some hope. I just like the look of the original engine bay so much that I want to try and restore that with a few upgrades along the way.

Thanks
