which headers to buy?
I am going to buy ceramic coated headers for a 79 vett. I need advise on which pipes will fit with my A/C ect. I have a 350 engine and automatic trans. I don't have to worry over air tests here. Some liks and advise on good headers will be very helpful. thanks

You can go with anything, really. Dynomax(cheap), Hedman or Hooker.
I went with the hedmans. Hedman and Dynomax have a 1/4" flange, Hooker has a 3/8" flange I believe. You'll need to make up a spacer that splits the difference in depth between the header flange and the original manifold where the a/c stud goes. Other than that, you'll be fine with any of these!

If you have to pass a visual inspection for emissions, and have to have the A.I.R. system installed, go with the Hedman headers.
