    Application for GM F body junkies

    I have come across a great deal on a set of Hooker super comp headers and I am not completely sure they will fit my application. Here goes. They are for a small block Camaro 1967-1969. I have a 67 Firebird with a Chevy 400. Will they fit?

        Well, at least they'll fit as "good" as they would in a Camaro. LOL Which ain't usually all that good.

          yeah, using the words Hooker and fit in the same sentence is asking for trouble!

              I was going to make some kind of wise crack about putting a proper Pontiac back in there to salve all of your problems, but headers on a Pontiac (especially Hookers) are waaay worse than headers on a Chev.

                Yeah, I learned (and probably invented) some new swear words in high school helping a friend get a set of Black Jack headers on his 428.

                Ever since, someone asking me for help putting headers on a Pontiac gets the same reaction as they would if they asked for help moving or putting a new roof on a house. ;D

                  I had Hooker super comps on many Fox Mustang applications, never once had a problem.

                    That's why you tell your friends that you are having a BBQ, then after they show up mention the BBQ is after the installation ;D
                    Escaped on a technicality.

                      I'd rather attend an Amway meeting . . . or invite a Kirby salesman into my house.

                          Good point on the engine being in the right place. I am not totally sure it is. The current headers ( brand unknown) have been massaged quite a bit to clear the steering gear and other stuff.

                              You have to buy the Super Comp's, they're the one's that fit.

                              It's just the regular Comp one's that suck.
