Indian Adventures is producing equal length 4 tube headers for the 1978-1987 A and G body cars for either D or Round port Pontiac engines. Before, there wasn't any that did not need modification, to fit those chassis. The D-port headers are 1 3/4" diameter and the Round-port headers are 1 7/8" diameter. They fit and aren't a 'one size fits all' header. Jerry Brock aka 'Wagon King' worked with Dick Duclow at Indian Adventures to produce the headers and have the prototypes for his wagon. These are a thing of beauty. Contact Indian Adventures at 1-888-RAM-AIRS.

Went to Indy for the Div 3 NHRA Bracket Nationals.
1st time pass the dragster ran a slow 5.67 in 1/8th mile.
Checked compression and found the head gasket blown.
Drove back home (2hrs) pulled my engine and put a stock 400 with .480 lift
hydraulic cam and 6X heads (8.5 cr)
I used my alcohol injection because I didn't have an electric pump or hoses to
make the carb work.(or the time)
Just made it to the one and only time run for Sat.
Ran a 6.76 in 1/8th with the engine laying over big time at half track.
Cam wouldn't pull to my original shift chip.
Changed shift chip,leaned out the injection for the small engine,
and took a wild guess at the dial-in.

Ran a 6.29 getting way out of it.
Oh well, at least I made it to the first round.
