I picked up a set of NOS Doug Thorley headers recently that are orange.

As I recall, part numbers were stamped on the outer side of the flange that were visible when bolted to the head.

I do not. They look like they might fit a Chevelle, but the #8 pipe will hang below the frame right behind the front wheel if that's what it fits. I haven't test fit them in my Chevelle yet.

If they don't fit that, I'm thinking C2/C3 Corvette is most likely.

There were no stamps or anything anywhere. There's an ink stamp that looks like an inspector's mark, but no numbers that coincide with a part number.

I got a chance to try a test-fit on my '68 SS396, and they definitely do NOT fit a Chevelle.
#4 pipe interferes with the crossmember, so they can't go forward enough to line up with the heads. It's about an inch off, so not within hammering in some tolerance.

I think Doug Thorley (Doug's) headers from the late '60s and very early '70s were kind of a salmon orange color as seen in these vintage NOS hemi and AMC headers. It's not the same kind of orange like Chevy orange block paint.

A little off topic, but I have always been unclear if all three of these entities are the same "Doug"

Headers by Doug
Doug's Headers
Doug Thorley Headers

Anyone know for certain?
