When we moved the car over to the other work bay I didn’t have the camera with me. But this shows the car a little better.

Anyone have any luck with high temp paint on headers. Well I am going to give it a try. I painted the passenger side header tonight. I used the VHT high temp white paint over high temp VHT primer. I think they will really look good in the engine bay with yellow accell plug wires. What do you guys think?

Jason

I just got my headers back from being ceramic coated white. ( Second attemp by the coater I might add) But they look great. Jason, they will look awsome in the engine bay. I picked up some Mallory 7mm Super Stock blue wires for mine. Can't wait to see it all done. You're Nova will be awsome!

A place called Dyno Port, but another member had pointed me to a place called Swain Tech Coatings in NY. I got the email a little too late and jad sent them to Dyno Port instead. Both are in NY.

Email sent.

Yes that is correct Bill.
I wanted to have it as close to original but with a little day 2 look. So I decided go with headers,accel wires, electronic distributor and a flow master exhaust. Leaving the smog pump on the car as if someone just unhooked the tubes but never removed the air pump. I have the correct exhaust manifolds & tubes incase I ever want to go for the stock look.
