1967-1969 Camaro big tube headers with square flanges. I think these are Appliance headers? What do you think?

These appear to be very Early , if they are in fact Appliance brand.
The tube design, over/under, spaghetti style is first indicator, second are the individual flanges,
thirdly, the Square collectors.
What has me puzzled are the &quot;short collectors&quot; themselves.
I've seen a lot of BB first gen from circa '71 &amp; up...with a far different tube routing into a much longer collector approximately 12&quot; in length.

There were a few more manufacturers in '66-'67 using 4 bolt square flange and 4 piece and or 1 piece flanges,,,, Predominantly attributed to Appliance advertisements for the day were the individual flanges &amp; 4 bolt ....
Consensus; A Very Rare Early Set, looking to be in very good condition,,,, nice score for one who wants authenticity in design and period.
I'd be thrilled having these on a 67-69 BB...That was modified asap, for drag racing or a serious street car.

Matt,

I have a used pair that are close in design to the ones you pictured. They were bought at a swapmeet and marked with tape that says Chevelle on them.

Think mine are Appliance since there is CH72 stamped on the tubes near the collector.

The Appliance catalog uses the first two letters of Chevrolet in their MFG number.

Picture of a flange with the Appliance MFG number CH 10 on them. 1976 catalog says fits Corvette.

You might want check and see if anything is stamped somewhere on your headers......Warren

I just looked and my headers are stamped CH4 on the tubes near the collector. Looks like they are indeed Appliance 1967-1969 Camaro.

Aren't these Cragar headers? I thought they were the only headers painted blue.

Bill Thomas Headers were blue
Cragar were various colors over the years.
Mostly Orange
Magazine Ads show Colored Headers,when they were actually white,silver or natural
