I bought the MSD wire ends. They are adjustable and have been used on this forum with success. They are around $5 for a pair of ends. Once I get the engine back in I will post some pics of that process on my thread. Its titled "LQ4/T56 in my 69 Camaro.

Angry poor ground clearance

On my 67 w/ls1 speed tech mounts , besides the plug wires , for my liking the headers need to be brought up aprox. 2'' , they hang down way to low .

If I would have known I wouldn't have bought them.

Chances you take when trying to save a buck.... Pisssed

If you dont mind measure the overall hight of these headers from lowest point(collector)to highest point at top of tubes or flanges.That way someone with an engine in the car can measure from top of port down to your measuerment and tell how low they will hang on their car.

If you're still interested, Jimbo, I bought these headers back in Sept but have never had them on the motor. I can't show any clearances in car yet, but I can bolt them to my engine either tomorrow night or the next and get some pictures up if it'll help you. They appear to be very nice quality, but will have to wait a while before I can confirm that.

They hang about 2" below the subframe. I would have not bought them if I knew this.

Thats what everyone says. Including me. I just wish Edelbrock still sold headers.
