Default Header advice for base 300

Recently removed my 25 year old headers (Hedman I believe) as part of my restoration, sent them out to a local powdercoater for ceramic coating and unfortunately they came back looking kinda crappy. To much pitting in some areas. The guy is pretty cool about it and will re coat another set for me at know charge as he also wants me to be happy with the results. My question, what brand or model# might you guys suggest that will bolt right back in with no bending, denting, etc required. My old one's fit perfect with no mods other than a different alternator bracket and spacers for the A/C bracket. Car is a '70 base 300 with air. Thanks in advance for your thoughts, I don't need a high dollar set and just basic black painted as they will be stripped and re coated. I can make some one a deal on these as other than blemished they are in good shape!

Hedmann has both the 68300 (no A.I.R. fittings) or the 68301 (fittings). You can get them coated from Summit for about $450.
