Need headers for my 1989 rs (305 tbi)

Hey guys I want to swap my manifold for a set of headers on my 305 tbi but I'm concerned generic 305 headers won't fit in my engine bay, can anyone suggest headers that will bolt on and fit right away?

Thanks

"Generic" "universal" ones WILL NOT fit.

Check Dyno Don's. Never used em myself, but lots of others on here have. Plus, he appears to have OBSERVED what goes wrong with others, and incorporated his learning from their mistakes into his design.

Above all, never forget, that you get, AT BEST, what you pay for. Meaning, if you pay "the least", you get, AT BEST, .... I'll let you do the rest of the math. And nowhere in life is this more true than headers. I've had ALOT of crappy parts of one sort or another over the years; but NONE of them made me as MISERABLE as $h¡ttÿ headers.

Sofa's right, buy the best headers you can afford. They are difficult to install and will leak if not installed well....quite a headache.
