Re: Black Jack headers
I was thinking Mr. Gasket?IDK. Dern, I still can't recall. I know I had them blasted at the base hobby shop and then painted them VHT header white. I remember doing the heat and let cool method when I installed them on the engine about five times. It was a pain in the butt to keep them clean but they looked sharp. Never had a problem with the ones I had. Don't think they were $70.00 though Bruce. They weren't the Hooker price, which IIRC were the top of the line that you could get around that time period locally. You know, being on a military pay scale wasn't the greatest. I'm thinking these were like a mid price range set, maybe no more then $125.00 to $150.00 I believe. Seal was pretty good once I figured out I had to tighten the bolts up every few days. I've replaced my share of Mr. Gasket header gaskets. I think I was using 2 on each sides. Drove from Dover AFB to Memphis and didn't have any issues with them on my first Camaro SS350.
I'm just stuck on who made them then. I see Dynomaxx has a Black Jack header.
