For everthing else ive had long tubes on they come with a little spacer for it. These were hooker super comps so i cant speak for all brands though.

Re: headers on a 1968

I put headers on my 68 and cut a small piece of pipe between the header flange and the bracket on for the alternator, then used a longer bolt.

Can you provide me with an e-mail address to send hi res pictures to? I tried to attach, but can't due to size. I have a '68 350CID, with Headman Headers, it appears that the mounting bracket might be different? I purchased it this way, so can't help with the part unfortunately.

Re: headers on a 1968

I,d install a set of corvette 2 1/2" outlet rams horn manifolds instead, dorman makes cheap repops . all headers leak,rust out quickly and super heat the floor board up. jmo
