I think that I heard that Stahl was purchased by someone else and they use the same jigs and methods of manufacturing.

Stahl. Back when I was a pimple faced kid, I would dream of having the "cool" stuff for my car. Stahl was a racing header, as guys on here know. A great high quality piece. Like Lemon today. I wanted a Stahl Jones-Motorola tachdrive tach and headers. Really did not care what brand, just wanted the top quality stuff you would see on your favorite racer's car. Those parts were priced beyond a kid's pay. So, I had to settle for basic Headman Hedders at $40-50 bucks new. Being a "race header, ie: tuned, I doubt that Stahl gave a crap whether a back drive / lock-out would work with their header, IMO. I have messed with BB Camaros (Novas) almost 40 years now and have never seen a full length header, cheap or expensive, that would clear that mentioned linkage.
