I can't comment on how they will fit individual years but they were an easy install on my 68 El Camino w/BBC. They are shorter than a long-tube header (the collectors end at the bottom of the firewall) and their tube size is 1 7/8" (instead of 2" or 2 1/8" like my long tubes).
If your car has a SBC,they will practically fall on.
Yes,I liked the ball-joint collector flanges much better than the three-point flanges,too.
Hedman and Patriot also make intermediate headers for our cars but they won't clear the Z-bar on manual trans A-bodies.

Clint, do you know  or hear how they (the sandersons) fit the 72 chevelle ?  height is not an issue for me. and I like the look of the flanges under the car. but want to avoid dinging the pipes and painless installation would be nice too. any suggestions? thanks , Jimmy.C

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Sanderson Headers

Hey Clint,
 
I bought a set of Sanderson's BB3 headers for my 66. With my engine almost complete now, I attached the headers to see how they fit. As you know, the driver's side is real short and drops straight down, whereas the passenger side is much longer and doesn't drop nearly as quickly.
 
From your memory, how close does the passenger side collector get to the firewall? And do you recall any heat or clearance issues?
 
Thanks,
Larry Shouse
