I got a set of TFS 23 degree heads and would like to know the different headers that will work on them.If you know which ones will please list them out.I'm trying to figure out what my choices are and what prices I'm looking at.I have dynomax cerama coated headers,but I doubt those will work with the angle plugs so I'll probably return them.

Check with the manufacturer. They should be able to help you.

That is a GREAT question!

I'm planning on replacing the stock 67 heads on my 327 (in my 69 coupe) with TF's. I never stopped to think that my Hooker Headers might not fit!

Is that the case???

Thanks,
Rob aka Clueless!

Hedman #65003. They have 1-3/4" primary tubes and 3" collectors. Good plug access. The only interferrence on my car was the #1 tube hit the driver's rear upper A-arm mounting stud. I cut 3/16" off the stud so I didn't have to dimple the header.

Not sure about those specific aftermarket heads, but the only 1-5/8" options for angle plug manual trans cars are the Doug Thorley or Thorley headers. I have 492 camel humps with the angle plugs.

They are more expensive. But I sure do love mine. Nice, big fat flanges on them.

The TF23* heads are not really considered "angle plug" heads. True they are not exactly straight plug heads either, but as far as headers are concerned the TF23* heads are no different than straight plugs. In fact, the slight angle helps header clearance since they are angled away from the header tubes.
