I did some checking on header sources. Here are some price and
timeframe updates to my earlier list of sources:
Ted Schumacher (TSImported) $149.95 Ted has them made to order, and it
takes 4-6 weeks. Ted's stuff is top quality, but I don't know if I can
stand taking the Midget off the road for a month and a half.
Winner's Circle has to order them in, and it takes 4-5 days before they
can ship. The price is $229.00, for a chrome plated header.
I've got one more source to get hold of. I'll let you know what I find
out.
> Oh, how timely! I just found out Saturday that my exhaust manifold
for my '79 is cracked, so I'm in the market for a header as well. Keep
us informed on what you find!
