Its been awhile -- but I seem to remember Appliance Industries made the Blackjack headers ... TAZ

I always understood these two company’s to be one and the same. Appliance, I thought, evolved into Blackjack? I may be totally off, but I have owned both brands. Back in the late 70s ( I was only 3, mind you(age joke)), I worked at a speed shop. We sold Blackjack headers. I read every car magazine I could get my hands on, at the time. I don’t recall ever hearing about Appliance being advertised or used in the late 70s. Again, just my recollection, not a known fact. It has me believing one evolved to the other.

I think you are 100% correct. I worked at a local speed shop in Calgary in 1974/75 ( JB Auto ) and we sold & installed many Appliance headers, I had several sets myself , the first Appliance headers had welded non rotating collector flanges, later versions had the loose flanges. I noticed that Blackjack took over later 70,s/ early 80,s and later versions were alumicoated ?

I still have a set of 67-69 Camaro 302/350 #CH3 (2802) Appliance headers, very equal length nice fitting headers, 1&3/4” primary. I also used a set of Appliance headers on my 68 396/375 car back then. Appliance always seemed to fit nicer than Hooker headers & others back then, usually no modifications. JMO.

I just picked up these NOS, in the box, SBC Blackjack headers for 1963-1982 Corvette. They even came with all the hardware, decal and instructions.

Anyone know what vehicle these go on?

76288 is the stamped number.

I have a catalog at home, will look

Definitely looks like Mickey Thompson Super Scavanger Headers. Here are some part numbers that I found but I don’t see 76288.

Chevelle S/S 1965-68 396-427 PN 3876288

Based on the information/photos I've collected over the years - the shape of your headers look "dead-on" for original Chevelle. NICE SCORE!!!

Note: If I didn't already have a set being made for me by Nathan (Sweet Ave Fabrication) - I'd be drooling over these!!

Thanks for the info!!

Can I ask for some ID too? I brought home 2 sets today and I'd like to know what they fit and what brand they are. One set is small block with super long tubes and the other set is big block with large tubes. Small block flanges are stamped 1892 559A. I can't make out everything on the big block flanges, so I'l posting the picturtes.
