I used the following stainless header bolts to attach my Hedman hedders on my Dart Pro 1 heads without any fitment problems.

The bolts have stayed tight and I believe they are less expensive than the Percy vibe-lock bolts.

Hope this is helpful.

These bolts appear to be the best in terms of ease of installation and for value…Thank You. I may consider these for my 78 L-82 with McJacks shorty headers.

Like I said earlier, the grade 8 bolts are way too cumbersome with the locking hardware if you need to remove the header bolts more than once.

Take a look at the Proform Header Bolts...it's fascinating technology. Here's a link to the page: http://www.proformparts.com/product-...oduct_id/1053/
The washers are made in Sweden, and they are pre-installed on grade 8 bolts in Taiwan. No lock wires, clips, special tools...just tighten and you're done.
