I got lucky in that department. The local NAPA has 2 older guys that know how to run the computer AND how to look up parts in books. And it seems like the local CarQuest almost trains the "kids" how to look up stuff in books before they go to the computer...except for the popular stuff anyways...stuff that they absolutely KNOW will be in the computer. After all, no sense in wasting time...
I've been keeping my eyes out for a set of headers to fit my rig also. The one's I've seen on eBay or at the Doug H (forget what it is) site seem to cost like $900. I'll stick with the stock manifolds now that I've got them welded up and properly supported...which I think is the key to keeping the cracks from starting in the first place. If I unbolt the exhaust from the manifolds, I have to also loosen up the front hangers that I had added to the exhaust pipes. If I don't loosen the hangers, the exhaust stays up against the manifold flanges nicely. In other words, the manifolds aren't supporting any of the weight of the exhaust pipes.
