For what its worth, I used to run the Hooker Super comps 1 3/4" headers with the AFR 190 angle plugs..... no problems, I think many have done this over the years.

I would have thought the 195's remain the same, but don't know, I also do not know of any differences with the eliminator series. I would talk to AFR (Tony Mamo posts here occasionally)..... they would probably have some insight on this....

good luck !

Do they say they wont work with AFR angle or angle period? AFR's to my knowledge run a "L98" angle which is the same as a stock L98 vette head. I could be mistaken, but this used to be a common discussion a few years back.

I know that Stainless Works took note of the fact the exhaust ports on my AFR Eliminator heads are raised .100" over normal GM L98 heads- not sure if that's true for the older AFR 190's.

Maybe Hooker updated it's website to address the Eliminator series vs older AFR street heads...
