Hey all,
I own a 69 firebird with a 383 SBC and i want to upgrade to hooker headers and i was wondering what header should i get as its a chevy engine with a pontiac body.
I know that 69 camaro and firebird should be almost the same as its the same f body and headers for 69 camaro should fit directly but i sent an email to hooker and they say there is no documentation that those headers fit firebird which is very weird.

anyone have experience with that mod?

Thanks!

The headers in the first gen parts for sale will fit fine - more groung clearance.

What headers are you talking about? i was asking in general.

Headers for a SB for a '69 Camaro would work I'd think. They are basically the same body/frame. Don't know if there is a difference in clutch linkage if you are running a manual.

i understood from other forum that might be a problem with the steering arms which might be different, got any knowledge about that? or diagrams how the steering works in a 69 camaro?

They are all the same, you can ask for a 69 camaro!

Depending on the motor mounts used you might have to "clearance" the headers around the steering box, I do not think the arm is an issue.
