Have a set on my 71. Purchased the dual outlet ones from Clifford. I don't think they sell these anymore. They were a problem if you had A/C. Tend to hang down a little if you have very low profile tires. Sound good with dual exhausts.
I believe the single outlet ones are still available.
Things to watch out for
1) You need to weld in a divider between #3 & #4 exhaust port. Clifford sells these. Remove head and take it to the machine shop. You must replace the valve stem seals after welding.
2) Your carb may need rejeting or you will have detination and burn the exhaust seats. Look into adding a DGAV Weber carb. Go for the larger CFM and prepare to do some jet work.
The headers and the carb will give you the most benifit.You will notice a big improvement. Also, look into an electronic ignition adaptor from Mallory
Any questions, Let me know
