I bought this set of SBC headers at a yard sale yesterday. Neither the seller, nor I know the Brand. Can anyone help and ID these headers

Thanks

They look like the Patriot Tight Tuck headers sold by Corvette Central. I put a set of those on this spring. They're nice. You could probably find a picture on their site, if not I can post one.

Jim;
Yes, I agree on the Patriot Tight Tuck. With high confidence, i believe that is what I got for 10 bucks at the yard sale.

Did you notice any performance increase over stock manifolds ?
Did you have any clearance issues ie, spark plugs, steering box, access to starter. I am putting these on my complete 80 rolling frame that is going under my 73 body.

Thanks for the ID. I simply cant to a lot of searching as I am on a 24.4K dial up very remote in the mountains. Dont laugh 24.4K ha ha ha

Yes, to the performance improvement, and no to any clearance issues. They went on literally perfect.

... and good luck with the dial up!
