Re: Day 2 Headers?
I'm a big fan of the white myself. I had spoken to an older drag racer and he told me that white was a very " HOT" color for headers. Hot as in temp hot, not as in cool??? I wouldn't think that header paint, back then , wouldn't make a bit of difference in temp?

Black engines would retain and make HP faster that the orange color and the white headers, gas tank and undercarriage reflected heat to keep things cooler and maintain HP. Did it work or was it a good theory? I have a vinbtage set of headers that I though were Cragar but see that they are exactly!!! like Hookers back in the early 70's. I am beginning to believe that Hooker made them for Cragar.
