They are worthless and even when new showed evidence of how cheaply they were made. I was suprised to see that the metal piece where they bolt to the block only had a small notch cut into the top edge. Normally they had been sawed completely thru separating the front and back pipes from the center 2.
Inexpensive headers with this design were infamous for warping when they got hot and leaking the only solution was to cut the front and rear pipes from the middle 2. They were junk in the seventies and still are today.

Look a lot like the Blackjack headers I have sitting in my attic. I have two sets of the suckers...bought off of eBay, new for $ 80 including shipping for both sets. Ended up not using them on my Monte Carlo SS, went with different ones, but they look like they would fit the F-Body and G-Body cars.
