I used to have a set of headers that were reproduced by the GSCA back in the 80's with stock clutch linkage with no problems.

Those GSCA headers are rare. If someone has a set to sell please let me know.

Brian posted pics over at V8:

They are very close to the upper z-bar. Brian, who made these headers?

Header manufacturers included Kustom, Hooker, GSCA, and TA Performance. 
I have a set of Kustoms on my blue car, and a set of GSCA repos in the box for future use (not for sale!)
My Kustoms have poor ground clearance. TA's are reported to be poor as well.
I'm unsure if they are the same design (believe they are), maybe I'll start a header pic thread.
Early GSCA headers had a larger diameter collector than the later ones.

I have a set of the first twenty chrome plated headers the GSCA every produced still in the box. If someone in MN needs to see what these look like let me know.

I just purchased a 65 GS Convert that confirmed the fact I should have never sold my last one. These are really great cars.

Sorry these headers are not for sale.

Sorry

I didn't mean to shut down this thread with my very first reply.

The V8Buick Link provided great information. Thanks

I for one would be greatfull to see the Pic thread on different headers to understand what the differences are for my 65.
