Walt,Mark anyone know if these will work on a 65 with A/C.I'm sure they could be made to work and what I should have asked was how much trouble is it?    Tom

The drivers side is tough...best installed from under the car.
You'll need to raise the car up high, unbolt the engine mounts and jack the engine up.
Passenger side should slip right in, but drivers side will require removing the starter, or at least remove  the solenoid from the starter. Get the header up in position (don't bolt in yet), then the starter. Now bolt them up.

Sold!

George was kind enough to meet me half way to NYC and make the deal. Parts were just as described and in great condition. To soon to think about putting them on the car, but at least they're on the shelf.

Shameless plug for George - he has some Grand National NOS parts available too....

Who actually commisioned these, and who built them? I'd love to know what kind of coating is on here (although George's description of "light Chrome" seems about correct..

Is anyone on this forum running them? How did they hold up to heat (Blueing/rust?) ?

Does anyone have a before/after performance referance?

Thanks, Rhett

The GSCA had them made. I recall seeing some paperwork with them that mentioned Gemini Tube. I'll post back if I ever find it again.

JR,
As I remember, it was a one time run that the GSCA did.
