      Another header question!

      Im sorry guys, I dont want to beat a dead horse here, but I have read and read on here about headers and have really confused myself.

      I need headers for my 67 camaro convrtible.

      406 SBC with AFR 195 angle plug heads.

      Lee 670 P/S box.

      Stock 4-speed mech. linkage and Z-bar.

      Lowered 2" Hotchkis TVS kit.

      I think if Im reading right, the Dougs headers seem to be popular, but will they fit with all my combo above? Or is there another header that will work? I will say up front there is no way I can afford anyhing more expensive than the Dougs and even those are going to be hard!

      Part#s please...

      Thanks in advance!

      Not sure about the Mk1 Camaro but I have a 1977 2nd Gen with Auto and P/S. I fitted a pair of Hooker Super comepetition headers to my 355 SBC with AFR 195cc with angle plugs. All OK no cutting or dimpleing.
      These headers would not IMHO have fitted an A/C equipped car.

      First gen is a tougher fit because it's rear steer, 2nd gen is front steer

      I have the el-cheapo hedman hedders on my AFR 195 headed 406, with the Lee box and manual clutch linkage and I think the fit is pretty darn good. I believe they're only 1 5/8 primaries though. Ground clearance is pretty good too. I think a dimple for the Lee box would be a good idea, though mine just clears with no dimple.
