Default 69 Camaro A-arms for header clearance

Can anyone recommend tubular A-Arms that would allow for more header clearance in a 69 Camaro with a big block? The stock A-arms hit the headers, at the upper A-arm conection, closest to the firwall

.

there are several chassis shops that offer tube arms. I'm in the middle of big spring cleaning, so all my catalogs are packed in a box somewhere. Try the big guys, fat man, Alston's, Chassis eng, ect ect. '69 is an easy one to find.

How big of a header are you trying to run? We've had stock ones clear 2-1/8" primaries on a set of Hooker headers.

There are tons of fabbed control arms. Besides the above mentioned, tubulars can come from Global West, Detriot Speed, Control Freak, and Hotchkis just released some to name a few.

You may have to do like I did on my 67 - tink tink tink with a ball peen and a 2 lb hammer to clear the bolt on the passenger side and the same to clear the steering box on the driver side.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check out the various dealers and get specs. These are 2" tubes, and the clearance is worse on the driver side.
