I had long tube Hooker "Chevelle" headers for my small block '67 that did not fit all that well. Turns out they are the same as the Camaro header. My Headman shorty style headers did fit better, although it is an easier job to do with the shorter headers. I actually have my second set of headers, as the first ones had an exhaust leak from day one. The second set was of a different design. The first set had to be dimpled around the steering column, and the second set needed to be dimpled by the lower A-Arm where they hit the frame. At $85, the risk is low, but you might want to look at buying from the local speed shop. I was lucky enough to be able to drive to the Headman factory and let them inspect my headers while still in the car. If you buy through summit, then you need to return them to Summit if there is a problem. If you buy from your local speed shop, you could go right to them - much easier.
