What headers?

[musclcar]

any of the hooker long tube headers would look good just don't get the coated headers ie jet hot coated etc. now for valve covers i'd go with a set of M/T polished aluminum covers those are really period correct and would really set the engine off in that old school look.distributors i think mallory either unilite or the dual point with a hyfire cd box and coil. my motor in my 72 camaro has that old school/ day 2 look also. for a sbc i've got old cal-custom finned valve covers and t-handles,flex a lite green fiberglass fan,edelbrock scorpion intake ,holley 850 DP and mallory unilite ignition. the only thing is the headers i'm running hedman shorties due to ground clearance issues with long tubes

I love Stahl Headers, but no one ran them on the street. First off they are about $800. Hooker 2"tubes coated black. If you really like day-2 a set of Accel wires (yellow) and distributor cap, with an accel coil, I think look good. Champion spark plugs and M/T valve covers. I have flex-a-lite fans in red-white and blue and in green and in orange. They always look good. Try to find the small style air cleaner like a Motion or just a little chrome one. I personally don't think you need to change the distributor and mount any boxes to your firewall. Header mufflers, traction bars, shackles and big tires and wheels! JMO and have fun! Souderton Sam

Thanks for the great suggestions! What style wheels, how about Atlas five spokes?

The color of your car would look real nice with a set of torque thrust wheels. VINTAGE only though. Sam, The only way to truly get that car to look correct is to bring it east! We do have the 's here!

Sam I also agree on the M/T valve covers. Headers could be simply Hooker as they were obviously popular back then. Really grass roots would be to paint them white like they commonly were then but then eventual rust would be an issue. As far as wheels go.....be adventerous and add a set of vintage SLOTS! TT's are as common as belly buttons....

You guys are just used to seeing re-pop TT's

I'd go with a set of Cal Custom finned aluminum valve covers, they're fairly inexpensive and not too hard to locate. Headers have got to be white if they're going to look vintage at all. I hear flat white ceramic coating holds up well and looks fairly authentic so long as you keep your greasy fingers off of them. As for the wheel/tire combo, even though most people hate them, I've always thought a set of Keystone Klassics on white or red stripe Firestone Super Sports look cool on a first gen Camaro, and no one is running them today. I'm sure someone can post pics of the Motion prepped Hugger Orange/Black Hockeystick '69 RS/SS with this combo. I think it was featured in an old issue of Speed & Supercar, and maybe already posted here once before. Joe G where ya at on this one? It looked killer IMO.
