Default Best fitting headers for my 69

I'm looking for the best fitting long headers at a fair price. Don't want to pay for headers I have to beat into place.
I have a base 69 with power steering ,no AC.
All sites have mixed reviews and prices..
please help .

Ceramic coated Hookers are nice and get a set wit the same diameter as head port and long tube.
Since '69, you don't have to worry about accessory mounting of brackets on exhaust bolts as they are mounted on front of block..
You may lift engine and hove over to pass side for drvr side header install.
Doug Thorley are good, expensive but fit and function very well are Lemon's and Stahl.

I have had luck with Doug Thorley and Hooker headers. Headman not so much. Maybe you should just save your money up for a good set.Unless you can find a good used set.

Fore my money ARH are simply the best, yes they are expensive but American made stainless steel quality built and they fit like they should.
