Newbie here/first question: I have a set of ceramic coated shorty headers for a Small Block Chevy engine. The collectors are unusual in that they do not have the traditional 3-bolt - triangle shaped flange but, rather, a square 4-bolt pattern. Would like to be able to purchase gaskets in the future: Does anyone know who the Manufacturer of these headers are? Thanks.
4 bolt gaskets are plentiful. Just match collector size.
Appliance(the wheel company) got into the Header business in the 70's and used the 4 bolt square flange,the originals were painted white,they later came out with an aluminized finish which was easy to keep clean.I have some of their old decals from that era.:cool:
I just found an old receipt from a previous owner ....the headers were purchased from Sactamento Vintage......in 1996! They had never had a running engine on them. I wrote to them. I must say tho that with the 4 bolt seems like it would cause much less gasket failure/flange warping verses the 3-bolt triangle configuration.
Well, Duh: The Sac Vin website shows they still sell this header and they also have the collector gaskets! Receipt from 1996 was $275......sells now for $445 ! Mystery solved...thanks to all.
