Yup, those are the right ones. I've had the same ones on my '75 for 13 years with no problems. In fact I run nothing but headers on my vehicles since my engines would probably choke and die with stock manifolds. It's true that you have to pull the right one to remove the starter but how often does that happen? The key to preventing leaks using good gaskets and keeping the bolts tight. Throw away the gaskets that come with the headers and get a pair of these fel-pro's.

Stage 8 locking fasteners are a good idea too.

You'll have to pull the starter, unbolt the right motor mount, and jack up the engine to insert the header from below. On the 89120, two tubes will be forward of the mount and the other two tubes will be behind it.

Visit www.hedman.com , search the PN, and download the instruction sheet for a preview.
