It says right in the description that they are for a truck. It's very unlikely that they will fit your car.

No way those will fit, without EXTENSIVE modification to the rest of the system; and maybe not even then.

Best plan would be to buy headers for a Camaro/Firebird.

Forget about "chrome"; get THE CORRECT headers for your car, then have them ceramic coated with the "silver" color if appearance is important. Chrome headers only stay "chrome" for about 15 minutes anyway; they turn blue right away. But the "silver" coating keeps its color.

The dress-up kit and the gasket set are correct for your 84, the headers are not. Like the other members already posted; if' your going to buy headers BE SURE they are made specicifally for the 82-92 F-Body or they will not be "bolt on" ready parts.
