headers that fit angle plug heads?
Anyone know of a good header preferably one that is 1 5/8 or 1 3/4 that will fit a 79 trans am with a SBC 400 and has ANGLE plug heads? I'm having trouble finding ones that will fit. Any help or part numbers appreciated.Gas Grass Or Ass-Nobody rides for free!!!

I have run both angle plug and straight plug heads with my present headers. I found the angle plug heads make it much easier to acess my plugs. I am running 1 7/8 in headers on a small block chevy set up. I forgot my header brand but know they don't make em anymore.

Look up headers on the net if you haven't already done so. I found DynoMax, I am pretty sure that is who bought out the company that made mine.
What trouble have you run into that leads you to believe that the headers you looked into won't work with angle plug heads. I know a couple of folks that used the same headers after changing from straight plug to angle plug heads on F-bodys. I'm sure that in some cases they wont' work. I probably have the same header you would need on my car since it's an F-body but a 73 instead of 79. My headers worked with both heads, as I said they actually work a whole lot better with angle plug heads than with straight plug heads.

Thanks for the reply 73rs...I have looked on the net for them thats why I'm here. Dynomax you say...I'll check that. The problem I run into is the drivers side #3 cylinder. All the headers I've seen for my application all have that indent there on the #3 cylinder but they don't fit quite right.Gas Grass Or Ass-Nobody rides for free!!!
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
