Bought Pacesetter Headers, DID NOT FIT!!! Part #70-1093 This pic is drivers side, this one fit perfectly, did not bother to test fit other side.Freebirthfreddy's 1982 Chevrolet El Camino
The Pass. side did not fare as well. the collector hit the frame on the outside and was only 1/2" from the starter on the inside, there was no way that these would have ever fit.
