[Healeys] Jet-coating, wrap or do nothing to stainless headers?

[Keith Mott]

This is a really interesting survey, but what about paint?  I have a set of
mild steel headers that I plan to put on a bugeye I'm restoring.  I don't
really want to leave them bare, and I was planning on painting them with
high-temp paint.

On a slightly different note, my experience with heat and rough running in
my BT7 is exactly the same as Bob's.  I have come to accept that it is
'normal' behavior for these cars although I've always wondered about
wrapping the the exhaust manifold to decrease the heat load on the carbs.
