Yikes, old style headers? I bought mine in 1968 and they were made by Jerry
Belanger (sp) and they sure aren't like that! 2 pipes in front of the mount
, 2 behind on both sides. And there is also another possibility: get a
double hump pan. Summit sells them, Ford FRPP sells them, unpainted, about
60 bucks. Need to get a different oil pickup though.
