Header I.D. - 66-67 Fairlane 390

[fairlaniac]

I picked these headers up for what reason? I have no clue

Can anyone identify the fabricator? There is a "11" on one header flange from each side but that is all I can find. As I recall, Crites flanges start out as individual for each cylinder so I do think they are Crites'? They appear to have possibly been assembled and then the flanges cut? The tubes are 2" O.D. Also looking for instructions or pictures of them assembled for each side? I may resell them down the road, too early to tell.

Those headers certainly look like Crites to me.

They do to me as well. Unless these are older. Currently Crites uses individually cut single tube flanges. Not the one flange cut into four sections as the ones show. They may have evolved into the cleaner flanges?

Looking at  the collectors, bends and factoring in the 2” O.D. I would say they are Crites. Mine are old but have the cleaner flanges you mentioned. They should be somewhat soft unless they were made out of varying alloys over the run.

Jim, I think I confirmed them being Crites. A guy on FB Marketplace has a new set for sale with P/N C-11 which correlates to the "11" stamped in mine.

Doug, if you end up putting them in your Fairlane let me know how long it takes. It takes me 5-6 hours. I like to put some hi-temp RTV inside the collector where the tubes go in. If everything is not lined up perfectly the RTV might stop a leak.

Jim,
They are not going in my Fairlane. Someone inquired about them and made an offer. So I'm probably selling them.

Thanks,
