Fit an 84 el Camino
I got these installed W/O a scratch and jegs never fails with their precision. I bolted em on a 305 from up top bc I don’t have a hoist... took loose the starter and the ac box I didn’t have ac or heat... on the driver side I took loose the one bolt in the steering shaft, slid it out the way, and removed the oil filter. NOW I don’t have that engine that looks like it’s hooked up to an iv ready to burn on a bad day any more and all that clutter AND ALL that clutter is out for good. Could haven’t made a better decision for this g body. I may wrap em so they last.....

Perfect for my 1983 Malibu
Great quality, fit perfect in my 1983 Malibu. Big thick header flange, everything works great, perfectly priced. I do wish they would make bigger primary's though, but eventually they could make them.

Great Value!
I bought these for an FI engine swap into an Elky. I was very surprised at how heavy they were, which indicates nice, thick tubes. The flange is nice and thick as well, the welds look great, the fit was excellent, they tuck up well and clear everything. I assumed the paint was the usual temporary stuff, but it was tough to get off, and wouldn't just burn off with a torch, so maybe it is a high temp coating. I did repaint with silver VHT. Haven't fired it yet, but I'm most pleased with this product. Great value for the price!
